Ever had a client look at you like you’ve just asked them to sign a mortgage on a mansion—without even seeing the property?

We get it. Explaining a Buyer’s Agreement can sometimes feel like you’re speaking in a foreign language. But fear not, because we’ve got a resource that can help.

Introducing the NAR Consumer Guide titled, “WHY AM I BEING ASKED TO SIGN A WRITTEN BUYER AGREEMENT?”

It’s the perfect tool for explaining the benefits of this agreement to your clients, clarifying any misconceptions, and ensuring they feel confident and informed throughout the buying process.

This guide explains why the agreement is in place, how it benefits buyers, and why it’s an essential part of the home-buying journey.
Please share it with your clients, and watch as their hesitation melts away faster than a sandy beach on a hot day.

Want to make this a win-win? Use the guide as a conversation starter to walk your clients through the process—proving once and for all that you’ve got their best interests at heart.
