Recently we have noticed a lot of hesitation from prospective Buyer's to sign a 'Buyer's Representation Agreement'. Here are some things you need to know about these agreements.

QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR AGENT BEFORE SIGNING ANYTHING:

  • What are the costs associated with signing a representation agreement? 
  • What happens if I want to cancel my agreement with you?

If a Buyer chooses not to sign a representation agreement, it is important that they read through the Agency Disclosure Form that every agent is required to provide prospective clients/customers.
