Starting 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. A written agreement is required only when you begin actively working with an agent, which means receiving services like property identification and tour arrangements. These agreements provide clarity on services and fees and are fully negotiable.
