VERY IMPORTANT! Not a joke.
🔈 Public Service Announcement To ALL Home Buyers 🏡
Effective August 17th, 2024 and beyond - A Realtor CAN NOT open and show you a home without you signing an agreement with them, this also is the case when asking/inquiring to the listing agent directly.
In the past, some realtors already operated this way but many didn’t. Historically it has never been a problem - We make contact on a possible home of interest, we make an appointment and show you a home(or several) and proceed. However, starting the 17th August, no Realtor will be able to open the door to that home(or any) for you without you first signing an agreement. It is 100% a requirement - no exceptions (big fines.)
This is where selecting the RIGHT agent for YOU will be key. You will want to work with someone that you believe will not only look for the perfect 🏡 for you, but also look out for your best interests. An expert negotiator is 🔑 A real estate transaction can be uniquely complicated more often than not, they’re never exactly the same from one another and have their own challenges. Work with someone that will do all of that for you, and then some.
If you have any questions in regards to this change in the real estate industry, you all know that my message box and phone is always open! 🙏 📞 📧
