Buyer support and BCP or NOTICE-BCP forms (available in French only)
There are two ways to support a buyer. First of all, there is buyer’s representation which consists in providing personalized advice and a purchase strategy, with 100% expertise that leads to the signing of an exclusive brokerage contract to purchase (BCP).
Then there is fair treatment which consists in giving objective information. This information can be provided by the seller's broker or by a collaborating broker without any contract or advice. It is essential that this information be clear and transparent to the buyer. This is why it is necessary to explain to him the NOTICE-BCP form and have him sign it. You will find all the important information on this topic in this episode on buyer support and BCP or NOTICE-BCP forms.
