Since 2012, written buyer brokerage agreements have been required in Virginia. 

Since 2024, they must be signed prior to going to see a house together.

So, even if we're just getting started in exploring your home buying options - before we go see a house, we'll need to review and sign a buyer brokerage agreement.

What will that buyer brokerage agreement outline?

1.  Our duties and obligations to each other as I represent you in pursuing the purchase of a home.

2.  The specific house or types of houses I will be helping you explore.

3.  The term (start and end date) of the agreement.

4.  The compensation you will pay for my services.

If you'll be buying a home soon, let's review a buyer brokerage agreement together sooner rather than later so that you'll know what I'll be asking you to review and sign before we go view our first house.
