Buyer FAQ’s and Resources
What is a Buyer-Broker agreement, and is it required to tour a home?
A signed buyer-broker agreement is required by law (as of July 2024) before a real estate agent can show you a property. This legally binding contract establishes the working relationship between the buyer and the real estate agent and clearly outlines the roles, responsibilities, and terms of representation for both parties.
Is mortgage pre-approval required before touring homes for sale?
While a mortgage pre-approval is not required to begin touring homes, speaking with a lender early in the home-buying process is strongly recommended. Getting pre-approved helps you understand your budget, avoid falling in love with a home outside your price range, and positions you as a serious buyer. A pre-approval letter is also required when submitting an offer on a home and can strengthen your offer in a competitive real estate market.
Besides personal preference, what other things should I be evaluating when I tour a home?It’s common to think of additional questions or details you’d like to know after touring a home. If time allows, you are always welcome to schedule a second showing before making an offer. To help you stay organized and evaluate each property more confidently, the Touring Checklist below highlights key features and important aspects to consider during and after your visit.
