@Mark Samaan there is no law demanding a buyer to sign a "buyers agreement" before seeing a property. In addition to it being a ridiculous "anti-trust" situation, it would rule out the possibility of a FSBO situation. BUT, I know many realtors are saying that just to make people sign with them. It is FRAUDULENT. and UNETHICAL. INSIST THEY SHOW YOU THE STATE LAW,,,not a brokers agreement.

in other words, a buyer is NEVER required to sign ANYTHING to see ANY property that is for sale.

Rebecca, do not use ZILLOW to get your comps if you want an accurate assessment. Zillow is an ALGORITHM,,and only has the info. it was fed from the county records and public info. which is incorrect at best. I've seen zillow estimates(estimates)fluctuate as much as $300,000 within a week. AND, if you have a unique home (amenities and upgrades), zillow doesn't take into any of that an accounting. ZILLOW IS A CMA. Current market analysis of the entire NEIGHBORHOOD, ACROSS THE BOARD LOOK ALIKE PROPERTIES ,,,a VANILLA ASSESSMENT. If you have a unique property that is upgraded and different from others in your neighborhood, LICENSED APPRAISERS MUST BY STATE LAW, AND USPAP GO OUTSIDE OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AS FAR AS NECESSARY, AND BACK AS FAR AS 1-5yrs on sales, to find the appropriate , valid, valuation and comparables. GOOGLE: USPAP and go to your : Dept. of Regulatory agencies (for your state), REALESTATE DIVISION, and they will give you the state laws for your state for LICENSED APPRAISERS. REALTORS THINK THEY ARE APPRAISERS, AND LIE TO PEOPLE OUT OF IGNORANCE OR MALICE to manipulate sellers and buyers to their own agendas to put money in their pockets faster. THAT IS THE TRUTH OF IT. BEST OF LUCK. P.S. Use HOMES.COM/ REALTOR.COM/ and others to get your comp. information. Dont trust a realtor to do it.

thats the other thing with realtors here in Colorado. They (especially KW and EXP agents)and others,,,go AGAINST the new NAR rules, and DEMAND that a seller has to sign an agreement to include SELLERS AGENT COMMISSION ""AND"" BUYERS AGENT COMMISSION, telling sellers "its the law",,,which is a flat out LIE. In fact, NOW, since the NAR settlement, DECOUPLING ALL OF THE COMMISSIONS is what is demanded. And there is NO LAW IN ANY STATE OF THE UNION that addresses this and demands otherwise. TELL THEM TO PROVE IT if they insist. I promise they will go away. PLUS, KW's agents have INCREASED their commissions to 3.2%-4% for themselves, and demand sellers pay 3% to the buyers agent. Then want dual-agency. I SMELLED A RAT A LONG TIME AGO. THEN, KW's BLACKBALLS FSBO's......But thanks to Mike Chambers, (realtorshateme.com) in Colorado, its getting better for we FSBO's.

Your state Dept. of Regulatory Agencies, Real estate Division, can direct you where to get a state written sales agreement. "DUAL AGENCY" is bad business. The realtor cannot devote full measure to you or the seller. Dont get left out in the cold.
