Buyer Broker Agreement
Hi there,
Due to changes in real estate that took effect in 2025, all licensed real estate agents are now required to have a signed buyer employment agreement in place before providing services. This agreement allows me to advocate exclusively for your interests, negotiate on your behalf, identify suitable properties, coordinate showings, and guide you through due diligence and closing.
Below are the documents I will ask you to review. I’ve included a brief explanation of each one:
Buyer’s Real Estate Agency Disclosure and Election
This form is a disclosure, not an employment agreement. It explains my fiduciary duties to you and the possibility of dual agency (which could occur if I show you a home listed by Long Realty).
Affiliated Business Disclosure
This form discloses companies affiliated with Long Realty, such as mortgage, title, or insurance providers. You are never required to use any of them.
Buyer-Exclusive Employment Agreement
This is the actual employment contract between us. Here are a few important points:
- Compensation includes a $300 administrative fee plus 3% of the purchase price (the co-op commission).
- We will agree on a specific term for our working relationship.
- Sellers are no longer required to offer compensation to the buyer’s agent. I can check in advance whether the seller is offering a co-op and negotiate on your behalf if needed. If the seller is not willing to pay the full amount, we can adjust the agreement accordingly.
Please review these documents and let me know if you have any questions. I’m happy to walk through them with you before we move forward.
Would you like me to send you these forms or schedule a quick call to review them together?
Please feel free to call or text me at (520) 400-9466 or email me at AGirard@LongRealty.com.
Warmly,
Alicia Girard

Alicia was incredible! She had to work with us for a couple of months but we got it there and with what we believe was the best possible outcome for what is hopefully our forever home. Thank you so much Alicia!
-Travis Goff, Client
Alicia was great! She was very willing to explain the entire process to us and give us her advice. She was very attentive throughout everything. If we texted her she would either respond almost immediately, and if it it took her a little longer (30 min or so lol) she would call us and make sure that we were good to go. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!
-Joseph & Hannah Johnson, Client
Great experience, Professional, pays attention to details I appreciate that! She has great resources when selling your home when whatever is needed on a time deadline! Thanks Alicia for selling our home and finding our new one!
-Stan Kennaugh, Client
Alicia Girard worked so hard for me! Above and beyond doing things the seller's realtor should've taken care of. She advocated for me over and over again! She was respectful and supportive of my knowledge (or lack thereof)! Highly recommend Alicia.
-Linda W, Client
Alicia did an awesome job. See wasn’t afraid to be out in front of the price curve in this unusual market. Priced it perfectly and was on top of every issue that needed addressing.
