Yes I do.  I've had very few people not want to sign and that lets me know they were most likely going to cheat on me!  For the most part, my Buyers don't bat an eyelash when presented with the paperwork.

I get an exclusive buyer broker agreement signed before a show a home.  I do that by having a buyer consult ahead of time.  The lender also meets with the buyer right after the consult.

Yes every time. If a buyer doesn't want to sign it we talk and I explain. If they still don't. I move on. 

Hi Paul -- sorry to hear of your experience and frustration.

I don't use an exclusive buyer broker agreement with any regularity. Occasionally yes, always no.  I wish it were more common in my marketplace.

Paul S. Henderson, Realtor, Tacoma Washington Yes, BBA's are mandatory in my State. Good answer to the agent!

I do hope they enjoy the job and good for you for telling him that.  If a buyer will not sign a buyer rep agreement and get pre qualified I don't wont to work with them.  When I first started in real estate I played taxi driver and door opener but not anymore.

Oh yes I do. I want them to commit to buying and buy from me. 

I would have done the same thing in your situation. Do you have a case for pro curing cause?

I agree with you Paul, time is money.

yes

Yes Sir I do.

Paul S. Henderson, Realtor, Tacoma Washington - I still have not put that in my practice, however I should do that soon.

(Though very rarely I have been deceived!)

Yes, it is a requirement in our brokerage.

Yes I do and it has saved my a lot of time. It's part of my way to qualify buyers.

Yes we do. 

We have to use them at a certain point, but not always when first meeting with someone. We can also set them for one day, one week, one month, etc which helps with those who are hesitant to sign one up front.

Paul,

It was a very simple easy to read with the right to cancel.  No one objected to it.  One objection was a large recording firm.  I stuck to him like flypaper, and we ended up doing three large spaces for them and two of their companies they acquired  I was their go to person.  We became friends.  A

Paul - I may work with a potential buyer for a day or so to see how serious they really are. Then after that, I would ask that they complete an exclusive buyer broker agreement, or I may just decide not to work with them.

We need to protect our business, and the only way is to get the buyer to sign the agreement.

Too many people these days will just use multiple agents, or go with the agent who has the listing, without knowing the consequences of their actions.

Absolutely!
