BUYER AGENCY PROFESSIONAL® · BAP®

Secure your fee. Own the value you bring.

Since the NAR settlement, buyer's agents negotiate their own compensation directly with clients, no more assuming it. The BAP® designation teaches you exactly how to present your value, structure your fee, and win the representation. Eight hours, live online, and you walk away with a credential you can put on your card the same week.

WHY THIS MATTERS NOW

For thirty years, sellers paid both sides of the commission. That's over. Buyer's agents now negotiate their own fee, directly with their own client, and most were never taught how.

The BAP® designation exists for exactly this moment: how to build a compelling value proposition, structure a professional services agreement, and confidently ask for, and get, the fee your work is worth. Buyers are going to look for agents who can already answer these questions. This is how you become one of them.

THE CURRICULUM

What the eight hours cover.

Buyer Agency and Responsibilities, Identify the buyer representation responsibilities that apply to your business.
Unique Value Proposition, Build a buyer agent value proposition that fits your style and shows buyers what you bring to the table.
Professional Fees, Learn how to secure your professional fees at any level of service you choose to offer.
Buyer Agent Presentation, Present your value through a buyer agent presentation, built the same way you'd build a listing presentation.
Service Menu Approach, Create a menu of services that lets you deliver exactly what your buyers need.
Professional Services Agreement, Learn what this agreement is, how to use it, and when.
Marketing Yourself, Market your value proposition using the digital marketing tools included with the designation.

This is more than the average professional development course, it's a chance to set yourself apart from the competition with a unique designation and additional marketing tools.
