Buyer Agency is a relatively recent addition to the kinds of real estate agents representing consumers. In the 1990s Colorado underwent comprehensive real estate reform that provided protection for buyers who had previously been ignored in real estate transactions to their detriment. Prior to reform, if a buyer attended an open house or viewed a model home at a new home development and was interested in the home, he or she asked the agent holding the open house for information. Or if they called the agent whose name appeared on the For Sale sign, they didn't realize that in both cases the agent represented the seller's best interests and not the buyer's. That has all changed. Now Buyer Agency is the norm in Colorado. Buyers have their own representatives who have the buyer's best interests at heart.
