Do I have to sign a buyer agreement to tour a home?
If you tour with your own agent who is a Realtor, yes, a written agreement is required first under the 2024 rules. If you contact the listing agent directly, you are not hiring a buyer's agent. ListingCraft for Buyers sends your showing request straight to the listing agent.
Some listing agents may ask you to sign a form acknowledging they represent the seller. Read anything before you sign it.
