Starting August 17, 2024, a new rule from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) will require buyers and their agents using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to sign written agreements before touring homes. This requirement applies nationwide. These agreements will outline the compensation for the buyer broker’s services. If you’re a buyer, you’ll need to sign a written agreement with your agent before touring a home to clearly understand the services provided and their costs. This requirement applies to both in-person and live virtual home tours.
You do not need a written agreement if you are merely inquiring about an agent’s services. Agent compensation for home buyers and sellers remains fully negotiable and is not fixed by law. There are several ways an agent can be compensated for their services, including: a) the seller of the property you are interested in has offered to pay a commission to the buyer’s broker, b) the seller has not offered to pay a commission to the buyer’s broker, but you ask the buyer’s agent to include that requirement as part of your offer on the property, or c) the seller will not agree to pay a buyer’s broker commission, in which case you would be responsible for paying the buyer’s agent.
