"In 1988, The Buyer's Agent, Inc. introduced exclusive buyer representation to the home buyer. At first, traditional firms scoffed at the idea, saying they preferred practicing real estate where only the seller was represented, not wanting to give up listing homes for sale. Today, more and more traditional firms are trying to figure out how they can meaningfully represent both the buyer and seller. There is only one correct answer "they can't ."
