Not a trick or a trap, just a brochure that NC realtors are required to give home buyers and sellers

Before I show a house to a buyer, I am required by the North Carolina Real Estate Commission to give them this. It is the working with real estate agents brochure. I have to give it to them, I have to explain it, and then get them to sign at the bottom.

Now, this is not a trick or a trap. It's not a contract, and it actually shows up here.”This is not a contract. Signing only indicates that I've given it to you”. Now, the gist of the form is that you shouldn't tell me any confidential information until I represent you.

However, I could represent you under an oral agreement which would not commit you to working with me past that showing.

The only time we're required to put something in writing is if you want to make an offer on a property and you want me to help you, then we'd have to put something in writing.

Otherwise, I'm not going to ask you to sign a buyer agency agreement just for showing you a house.
