Upcoming changes to our industry ~
Per the terms of the recent NAR lawsuit On August 17th a Realtor CANNOT show you a home unless you have signed agreement with them. Usually it’s not a problem and we can zip over, show it to you and be done, however, starting August 17th no Realtor will be able to unlock a door for you without you first signing that agreement. This will be non negotiable for any person with a Realtor designation. The usual form between buyer and Realtor is a Buyers Representation Agreement. A buyers rep is basically your contract between you and that realtor saying you will be using them to buy a home and breaking down the roles, duties, how we will be paid and responsibilities owed to you by your agent etc. This is not something we want to do, but are being required to do.
Picking the agent you want to use to help you buy a home is an important decision and not one that should be forced upon you just to see a home. The good news is that we (you and the Agent) get to negotiate when it expires, so although you may have to sign one, if you’re not ready yet to fully commit to a Realtor, you can always request an agreement that expires in a day, a week, a month, or even make it property specific etc..
