What Changed With Buyer Agreements and Showings?

Written agreements before touring homes.

I will show you how the “FORMS” are being used.

Talking points:

• Participating agents working with buyers must enter into written buyer agreements before touring homes, subject to the applicable rules and exceptions.
• The agreement must address compensation.
• Buyers should understand their obligations before signing.
• The changes did not automatically establish single-agent representation as the default in Florida.

Key question: Did the settlement change who represents the buyer, or primarily how the buyer’s agent is engaged and compensated?
