🏡 READY TO TOUR HOMES? THERE'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW FIRST!
Before you walk through the front door of your potential dream home, there's an important conversation you should have with your REALTOR®.
Who is representing YOUR interests? 🔑
Beginning January 1, 2026, Texas law requires a written agreement between a real estate agent and a residential buyer before the agent shows a property.
Here's why this matters when you're shopping for a home:
🔑 Know Who's in Your Corner
Your agent's role should be clear from the beginning. You deserve to understand who is advocating for you and guiding you through the buying process.
📋 Understand What You're Agreeing To
The agreement identifies the services being provided, the terms of representation, and how compensation will be handled.
🤝 Make Informed Decisions
Not every agreement is the same! Some may cover a single property or showing, while others establish a longer working relationship. Understanding the terms before signing is essential.
✨ THE BIG PICTURE?
Buying a home involves more than finding the perfect kitchen or falling in love with a floor plan. It's also about making informed decisions and protecting your interests along the way.
A beautiful home may catch your eye, but knowledgeable representation can make all the difference!
