⚠️ **🚨 Important Update: New Requirement for All Home Showings! 🚨** ⚠️
As of August 17, 2024, 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐒® nationwide must have a signed 𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐫'𝐬 Agency Agreement 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 showing you any property. This is now a mandatory step, with no exceptions, due to the recent settlement between the DOJ and NAR.
**What does this mean for you?** ❓
Before we can view any homes together 🏡, we’ll need to have this agreement in place—regardless of our prior relationship or how long we've known each other 🤝.
A 𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐫'𝐬 Agency Agreement 📝 is a written contract between you and your real estate agent, outlining the terms of your working relationship. It details the agent's services, the responsibilities of both parties, and the compensation structure 💼. This agreement is designed to help you understand your agent's role and the associated costs, ensuring trust and clarity throughout the home buying process. It guarantees that your agent is fully committed to representing your best interests 💪.
While this requirement isn’t entirely new, it is now 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 for all 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐒®. But don't let this deter you from continuing your home search! 🏘️ At Hagemore Realty Group, we are here to guide you through every step, making the process as smooth as possible 🛤️.
Please understand, this is not a “ploy” 📝 to pressure you into signing a contract. Just like before, the Buyer’s Agency Agreement can be canceled if you feel the agent isn’t the right fit for you 👋. We ask for your grace and patience 🙏 with your buyers' agents. This is a new rule for us too, and it wasn’t our choice—it was imposed by the DOJ and NAR ⚖️. At HRG, we’re here to take care of you 🤝 and will explain all the changes clearly. We're committed to guiding you every step of the way 🛤️.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out 📞. We've spent the last 2-1/2 months training and preparing for these new rules 🏫, so we can serve you even better. As always, we value your business, referrals, and ongoing support 🙌❗
Let's find your dream home together! 🏡💫
