Learn the rule, separate it from the nearest distractor, then apply it to a Georgia fact pattern.
What does Buyer brokerage agreement mean?
A buyer brokerage agreement is a written brokerage engagement authorizing a broker to represent a buyer in locating, evaluating, negotiating for, or acquiring property under stated terms.
How do you separate the nearest exam answer?
The agreement creates the buyer-client relationship with the broker. It is separate from the purchase offer made to a seller.
What changes or stays the same in Georgia?
Under BRRETA, the writing defines the representation, duration, duties, compensation arrangement, and other required terms. Without an engagement, the buyer is a customer rather than a client of that broker.
A buyer signs a six-month exclusive engagement before the agent advises on offer strategy and negotiates as the buyer's representative.
Showing property or sending listings does not by itself prove the buyer signed a brokerage engagement.

GLOSSARY TERM GUIDERetrieve the rule under exam conditions
Answer before reading the explanation. Then explain why every distractor belongs to a different term.
An agent has sent a buyer listings for a month and shown six homes, but nothing has been signed. The buyer now wants the agent to advise on offer strategy as the buyer's representative. In Georgia, what should happen first?
- A
Nothing, since the showings made the buyer a client
- B
The buyer and broker sign a written brokerage engagement
- C
The buyer agrees out loud and the agent confirms it by email
- D
The agent hands the buyer a written agency disclosure
In Georgia, a buyer becomes a client through a written brokerage engagement that sets out the relationship, duties, and compensation. Showings, spoken agreement, or a follow-up email do not create one, and a disclosure does not replace the signed engagement. Until it is signed, the buyer is a customer of that broker, not a client.
