Why do I need to sign a buyer’s broker agreement with an agent? I’ve just met them, and it feels intimidating.
It can feel a bit intimidating when you do not have a relationship with your agent. Agents are now legally required to have you sign a contract before they can show you any homes. This doesn’t have to be a big deal! Many agents offer to keep it simple at first, only covering the homes they show you, at the first couple of meetings. Once you know each other better, you can enter into a longer-term agreement. Our goal, as Realtors, is to make the process smooth and stress-free, so when you have moved into your new home, you will want to recommend their services to friends and family.
