The practice change requiring written agreements with buyers is triggered by two conditions: It only applies to MLS participants "working with" buyers and is triggered by "touring a home." What does it mean to "tour a home"? 🏡 📑 Written buyer agreements are required before a buyer tours a home For Sale listed on the MLS. 🏡 Touring a home is when the buyer and/or the MLS participant, or other agent, at the direction of the MLS participant working with the buyer, enter the house. This includes when the MLS participant or other agent, at the direction of the MLS participant, working with the buyer enters the home to provide a live, virtual tour to a buyer not physically present. 🏡 A "home" means a residential property consisting of not less than one nor more than four residential dwelling units.
