Consumer Guide to Open HousesStarting August 17, 2024, real estate professionals may ask buyers to sign a written agreement before touring homes. However, you do not need a written agreement to attend open houses or inquire about an agent’s services.

These agreements provide clarity on services and fees and are fully negotiable.
