Big Changes Are Coming in Real Estate—Are You Ready?

Starting August 17th, there's a new rule in town: no real estate agent can show you a property without a signed buyer's agency agreement. This agreement not only formalizes your relationship with the agent but also outlines how they’re compensated and the extent of their commitment to you. It's a shift that demands careful consideration—gone are the days of assuming a buyer's agent’s services are all the same.

Here’s what you need to know:

A buyer's agency agreement could be short-term or long-term, but once signed, it means that the agent is officially your advocate. They'll negotiate on your behalf, guide you through the process, and ensure that every step is in your best interest. However, it's now essential to choose your agent wisely—this is not the time to settle for anything less than the best.

At theRGteam real estate, we are fully prepared for this change. For years, we've carefully represented countless buyer clients and assisted in buyer agency with the experience and value we bring to the table. With over 1,000 successful transactions and more than $500 million in closed sales volume, our track record speaks for itself. 

Our clients have never been blindsided by fees, and we’ve consistently delivered results that exceed expectations. Plus, we are expert negotiators. 

Sellers have always been selective about their agents, and now buyers need to be just as discerning. A great buyer’s agent isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. The right agent will not only help you find your dream home but also protect you from potential legal pitfalls that could cost you dearly.

This new era in real estate is all about transparency and true negotiation—something we’re passionate about. My team and I are ready to help you navigate these changes and come out on top.
