The Buyer’s Agent vs. Listing Agent: Why You Need Someone on Your Side in McKinney

In every real estate transaction, there are two sides: the buyer and the seller. But most first-time buyers in McKinney don’t realize that the listing agent works for the seller — not for you. If you’re unrepresented, you’re negotiating against someone who’s legally obligated to protect the seller’s interests.

Key Differences Between Buyer’s Agent and Listing Agent

Function	Buyer’s Agent	Listing Agent
Represents	The Buyer	The Seller
Legal Duty	Protects your financial interest	Protects seller’s price and terms
Contract Review	Focuses on buyer protections	Focuses on seller advantage
Negotiation	Seeks credits, repairs, best deal for you	Seeks top price and quick close
Confidentiality	Keeps your info private	May share your offer terms with seller

Why Going Unrepresented Is Risky

• You may overpay or waive important protections without realizing it

• You’re negotiating against someone with years of market and legal experience

• Builders and sellers may offer one-sided contracts without advising you of the risks

• First-time buyers may lose earnest money or end up with buyer’s remorse

What a Buyer’s Agent Does That the Listing Agent Can’t

• Reviews builder and resale contracts to protect your money and timeline

• Explains fine print like appraisal gaps, option periods, and contingencies

• Advises on what to negotiate — and what to walk away from

• Advocates only for your goals, not the seller’s
