Buyers and Compensation Agreement New Ruling Affects the Way We Conduct Real Estate Business. 

 

In Louisiana, a Buyer's and Compensation Agreement is required before a buyer can view a listing, which benefits the buyer and Real Estate agent. The new law will go into effect in August, which means these forms will be required for all residential property. 

1. Formalizes Relationship: The Buyer's Agreement formalizes the relationship between the agent and the buyer. It will clarify the agent's role and responsibilities, set clear expectations, and reduce potential misunderstandings. The agent's roles include gaining access to a property, property disclosures, and negotiations.  

2. Reduces Conflicts: The agreements help avoid disputes over commission and representation by clearly outlining the terms and conditions from the beginning of the relationship. 

3. Professionalism and Trust: Requiring these agreements can enhance the agent's professionalism and build trust and credibility with buyers.

The agreements provide legal and financial security for the buyers and real estate agents and clarify each party's roles in the home-buying process. In Louisiana, the formalization of these forms is ongoing and will go into effect on August 17, 2024

Wonder if anything will really change as far as sellers offering compensation.  But none of this will change the way I have done business.

I worry about many Louisiana buyers being able to afford to pay for commission out of pocket. Over the years I've seen many struggle to save the 3.5% downpayment. Good luck getting the addition 5,000-7,500 if the seller isn't paying. What then?
