Real Estate Agents in Different Areas

[Account Closed]

Newbie question. Do buyer broker contracts specify geographical area? For example, I am looking at buying rental properties in Georgia and South Carolina, but can I have two simultaneous buyer-broker contracts for each area? I want to work with realtors in each area that know the area well. Is area just something I work out in the contract with them?

The Exclusive Buyers Agency Agreement that I use has blanks (general price point, general area, type of property, etc) that help define the "scope" of the search. Since they are blanks, you can decide with your agent how precise the search should be. I service the Aiken, SC and Augusta, GA (CSRA) markets - not sure how it works elsewhere.
