I usually have my buyers sign on the second day, so we both can see if we are a good fit.

We are transactional in Oklahoma so we represent the transaction, but we do have abuyers agreement that outlines 10 core services we must provide. The good news is that order entry types have to have a special addendum saying what they won't provide that a full service REALTOR® does provide.

Shuchi Agrawal you got me! I do discuss the Buyer's Agency agreement - and my compensation structure. I also go over the relationship of trust. However, only few signed agreements.

And I think I should make it mandatory.

I do get one. Not always at first, but shortly after the first meeting.

No. I like not having a signed agreement becaise it allows me to evalute along the way whether this is a buyer with whom I can get a deal one.

Shuchi, we do not as most don't in our area, but I am sure open to it after losing a client or two lately to FSBO's.

Rarely. It's not common practice here but if I am investing much time and have a sense they might be talking to other agents I do.

Thanks for your answers everyone.  I often wrestle with this and it's great to get your perspective.  In our area, people these days seem very reluctant to sign one - they want information from agents but don't necessarily want to commit.
