Do I have to sign something before I can tour homes?

Georgia buyers generally need to sign a buyer brokerage agreement before an agent tours homes with them, a change that followed the national settlement over how buyer agent compensation gets disclosed. The agreement spells out how the agent gets paid and for how long they represent you, and its terms, including the length, are negotiable before you sign. It does not obligate you to buy anything, only to work with that agent for the period it covers. Joel Boss walks every buyer through the agreement before either of you signs it.
