Attention All Home Buyers: New Rules Starting August 17th!
Starting August 17th, a REALTORยฎ CAN NOT show you a home unless you have signed a Buyer's Representation Agreement with them. This is a nationwide change that applies to all REALTORSยฎ whom are members of the National Association of REALTORSยฎ.
Here's what you need to know:
- **A signed agreement is mandatory before touring a home**.
- This agreement outlines the roles, duties, and responsibilities between you and your REALTORยฎ.
- It's important to interview and choose the right REALTORยฎ for you. Take your time and make an informed decision.
- The agreement's expiration date is flexible and can be decided together.
These agreements aren't new, but their enforcement is now stricter and nationwide for REALTORSยฎ. Several other states have been using these agreements for years. Just like compensation, these agreements are negotiable.
**Tips for choosing your Realtor:**
- Interview multiple agents.
- Get referrals from friends.
- Make sure they know the local market.
- Ensure they understand contracts and deadlines.
- Choose someone who will promptly answer your calls and texts.
