Buyer Representation Agreement
Zora REI, Inc. · Effective August 10, 2026
This is the agreement every Zagent account holder accepts when creating an account. The copy you accepted is kept on your account record exactly as it read that day.
Who this agreement is between
This Buyer Representation Agreement is between you and Zora REI, Inc., a licensed New York real estate brokerage. By creating a Zagent account you engage Zora REI, Inc. as your buyer's broker, working through Zagent (an AI assistant) under the supervision of the brokerage's licensed staff.
What we do for you
We help you search for homes, analyze properties and market data, contact listing agents and other transaction parties at your direction, coordinate showings, and support you through offer, contract, and closing. Every plan includes representation and support through closing on a home you choose.
The scope of monthly service is set by your plan
Each subscription plan includes a stated monthly capacity, shown before you choose it and on your account page: a number of broker-reviewed market analyses, and a number of properties Zagent actively works on your behalf (contacting the listing side, questions, showings, follow-up). When a month's capacity is used, further active work on additional properties resumes the next month or on a higher plan. Conversational research and answers from Zagent are available without limit, are AI-generated, are not individually reviewed by licensed staff, and should be verified before you rely on them; broker-reviewed market analyses are the reviewed deliverable.
This engagement is not exclusive
You may work with other brokers, and you may end this agreement at any time by canceling your subscription and closing your account. We earn our fee only as described below.
What you pay: subscription
Your subscription fee is the monthly price of the plan you select, shown before you choose it and changeable or cancelable at any time. Subscription fees pay for search and service labor and are not refunded for partial months.
What you pay: brokerage fee at closing
If you purchase a home while represented by us, a brokerage fee is due to Zora REI, Inc. at closing, equal to 0.5% (one half of one percent) of the purchase price — or, if the seller or listing side offers buyer-broker compensation in a greater amount in connection with your purchase, the fee is that offered amount. Compensation received from the seller or listing side is always applied to the fee first, so the amount you pay out of your own funds never exceeds 0.5% of the purchase price, and is often nothing. Zora REI, Inc. will not accept total compensation for your purchase exceeding the fee determined by this paragraph.
If you cancel: the 90-day protection period
You can cancel any time. If, within 90 days after cancellation, you sign a contract to purchase a property that Zagent actively worked for you during your subscription — one where we contacted the listing side, coordinated a showing, or otherwise engaged on your behalf — the brokerage fee above still applies to that purchase. The list of properties this covers is visible on your account page at any time and is provided to you in writing when you cancel. Homes you find and pursue entirely without us are never covered.
We tell you what the seller side is offering
Before you sign a purchase contract on any home, we disclose to you whether the seller or the seller's broker is offering compensation toward your purchase and the amount offered — so you always know how much of the brokerage fee their side is covering before you commit.
No end-runs
The brokerage fee applies if a home Zagent actively worked for you is purchased — during the term or the protection period — whether the buyer of record is you or a relative, partner, or entity acting on your behalf or under your direction. Buying through someone else is buying.
Outside services are yours
Services you order from outside professionals — inspections, surveys, appraisals, engineering reports — are contracted and paid by you. We can coordinate them; we don't mark them up, and we don't select them for you.
Compensation is negotiable
Real estate compensation is not set by law and is fully negotiable. The amounts here are our standard terms; if different terms are agreed with the brokerage in writing, the written variation controls.
New York agency disclosure
New York law requires licensees to present a separate statutory agency disclosure form describing agency relationships. This agreement is not that form; a licensed member of the team provides it at the appropriate point in your engagement.
The rest of the terms
The Zagent Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy are part of your agreement with us and cover the service itself — including that Zagent is an AI, that AI-generated information should be verified, fair-housing commitments, limits of liability, and New York governing law. Together with them, this is the entire agreement between us and replaces any earlier understanding; it can be changed only in a writing agreed with the brokerage. If any part of it is held unenforceable, the rest stands.
