The New Normal in Real Estate

The rules governing real estate transactions are evolving. The recent changes primarily affect commission structures and formally define your relationship with your agent. They are meant to provide transparency rather than overhaul the transaction process.

Home Buyers are now required to sign a Buyer Representation Agreement formalizing the agent-buyer relationship. This records your relationship with your agent, outlining the specific services they will provide and the terms of your relationship. This agreement also clearly defines your agent's compensation, ensuring transparency regarding commission structures.

Open houses offer a great opportunity to explore current listings and discover what aligns with your lifestyle. While you may be asked to sign in and if you have representation, viewing an open house doesn't require having an agent or a Buyer's Representation Agreement.

To schedule private showings or access off-market properties, you'll need to partner with a real estate agent through a Buyer Representation Agreement. The terms of this agreement are flexible - allowing you to choose a duration that suits your needs - whether it's committing to work with the agent on a single property or for a week or for several months - it's up to you.

As the party who is ultimately responsible for your agent's compensation, this doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll pay more. The negotiation process provides an opportunity to ask the seller to fulfill the obligation to pay your agent. It will be considered along with the other terms of your offer.
