What is the difference between a buyer's agent and a seller's agent in Edmonton?

The seller's agent in an Edmonton transaction represents the homeowner, markets the property, and negotiates to get the highest price. The buyer's agent represents you as the purchaser, evaluates properties, and negotiates the best price and conditions on your behalf. Each works exclusively for their own client.

If you attend an open house without your own agent, the host works for the seller, not you. In Alberta, dual agency where one agent represents both parties is permitted with full disclosure but limits their ability to fully advocate for either side. As a buyer, having your own agent costs you nothing extra. Find a buyer's agent in Edmonton who works exclusively in your corner.
