The buyer’s agent will then advocate for you, helping you find properties that fit your criteria, scheduling viewings, negotiating offers, and handling all the necessary paperwork involved in purchasing a home.
BUYER AGREEMENT GREEMENTS
New regulations require potential home buyers to sign a written buyer’s agreement BEFORE touring homes. This marks a significant change for buyers. The agent isn't trying to be demanding or pushy when they ask you to sign an agreement before you enter the first home you've requested them to show you. They are following regulations enacted in July 2024. A written buyer’s agreement is a formal contract between you and your buyer's agent. This signifies a notable shift for buyers who traditionally toured homes with an agent before choosing to work with them. The written buyer’s agency agreement details the services your agent will provide, the terms of your working relationship, and how the agent will be compensated. Compensation for the buyer’s agent can come directly from the buyer, the seller, or the listing agent or be negotiated in different forms. This agreement ensures you and your agent understand your mutual expectations and responsibilities. Remember, all these arrangements and fees are negotiable, and you maintain control. You can even sign a buyer’s agreement that is valid for just a weekend.
