## Prompt

```text
Help me explain my buyer representation agreement to a new buyer client in plain English.

**My state and brokerage:** [DETAILS]
**Agreement type and terms:** [EXCLUSIVE / NON-EXCLUSIVE, LENGTH, AREA OR PROPERTY SCOPE, CANCELLATION TERMS]
**My compensation:** [AMOUNT OR RATE, WHEN IT'S EARNED, WHO MAY PAY IT]
**Buyer's situation:** [FIRST-TIME? FINANCING? TIMELINE? CONCERNS THEY RAISED]
**My services:** [WHAT I DO - search, showings, pricing, offer strategy, negotiation, inspection and closing support]

Write:
1. A short consultation outline that covers the buyer's goals first, then the agreement.
2. A plain-English explanation of each key term, including: that many MLSs and brokerages now require a signed written agreement before touring homes (state my local requirement as [CONFIRM WITH BROKER]), that compensation is negotiable and set by the agreement, that sellers may or may not offer to pay some or all of it, and what happens if a seller offers less than the agreed amount.
3. Two or three worked examples with the buyer's own price range showing what they might owe out of pocket, using only my numbers.
4. Honest answers to common questions: "why should I sign?", "can I cancel?", "what if I find the house myself?", "can my lender roll this into the loan?" (answer: depends on loan program; ask the lender).
5. A one-page summary the buyer can keep.

Do not state rules I haven't confirmed for my state; mark them [CONFIRM WITH BROKER]. Keep the tone transparent, not salesy. This is not legal advice; the buyer can consult an attorney before signing.
