What Is the Buyer Value Agreement?
The Buyer Value Agreement — or BVA — is the formal working arrangement between you and HomeBuyer Experts. But before you picture pages of fine print, know this: the BVA is designed around one idea.
We work for you. Exclusively.
Not the seller. Not the listing agent. Not the builder. You.
The BVA puts that commitment in writing — and goes further by tying our success directly to yours.
Why It Exists
Real estate has historically operated in ways that blur whose side an agent is actually on. Buyers often assume they have representation when, in practice, they may not.
The BVA exists to eliminate that ambiguity.
It formally establishes:
- That HBE represents you and only you
- That our fiduciary duty is to your interests
- That we will be transparent about compensation — who pays, how much, and why
You deserve to know exactly who is in your corner before you start looking at homes. The BVA is how we make that official.
How It Aligns Our Incentives With Yours
Most buyer agreements protect the agent. HBE’s BVA is built around a different question: what’s actually good for the buyer?
The Dollar & Dime Program
HBE’s compensation is structured so that the more we save you off the list price, the more we earn.
This is intentional. When your savings go up, our performance bonus goes up. When your outcome improves, so does ours.
There is no incentive for us to push you toward a higher-priced home, rush a negotiation, or leave money on the table. The entire model points the same direction you do.
Seller and Builder Bonuses Are Rebated to You
Sometimes sellers or builders offer agents extra incentives to close quickly or at a certain price. At HBE, any such bonus or incentive is rebated directly back to you — not kept by the agent.
You should not be disadvantaged by behind-the-scenes financial arrangements. Under the BVA, you won’t be.
How It Protects You
Performance Guarantee
HBE is confident in what we do — confident enough to back it up.
If HBE does not save you at least $7,500 off the list price of your home, your $750 retainer is fully refunded at closing.
No fine print. No carve-outs. If we don’t deliver, you don’t pay.
Cancel Anytime
You are never locked in. If at any point you are not satisfied with HBE’s representation, you can cancel the agreement.
The goal is to earn your continued trust — not to hold you in place with paperwork.
Full Compensation Transparency
You will always know how HBE is compensated. No surprises. No undisclosed arrangements. If a seller is offering a commission, you know. If there’s a builder incentive, you know. Everything is disclosed and explained in plain language.
When the BVA Is Explained
The BVA is introduced during your Strategy Session — a dedicated conversation about your goals, the market, and how HBE works.
This happens before you ever look at homes together. Not in the parking lot of a showing. Not after you’ve already fallen in love with a property. Before.
The goal is that by the time you step into your first home, you already understand the plan, the process, and the relationship.
When Anything Is Signed
Nothing is signed until you are ready to begin viewing homes — and only when you say so.
There is no pressure. No countdown. No urgency manufactured to rush a decision.
You decide when you’re ready. The paperwork follows your readiness.
The Bottom Line
The Buyer Value Agreement is not about legal protection for the agent. It is about:
- Clarity — you know exactly who works for you
- Alignment — our incentives match yours
- Accountability — we back our performance with a guarantee
- Trust — built before the search begins, not assumed during it
Most agreements protect the agent. This one protects you.
