No. The Buyer Representation Agreement that you sign is a private contract between
Broker and Client. Stuart suggests you do not inform them unless necessary. If there is to be a contribution of all or a portion of the Rebate to help with the Buyer’s closing costs then all parties will become aware of the arrangement by way of disclosure by Stuart. The Builder salesperson may even ask you if your Agent is “going to make a contribution?”. *** Stuart suggests that you act dumb and not disclose this info to the Salesperson. Remember, the Salesperson is being paid to look after the best interests of their employer (the Builder) and get the best price for the property. Informing the Salesperson of the Rebate may change your negotiating position with the Builder.
