Surely you've heard the line "99% of lawyers give the other 1% a bad name". That can be said about real estate agents, cops, mechanics, or any other group that someone has had a bad experience with (or heard about a friend's friend who had a bad experience so they want to sound in-the-know by repeating it). I've done residential real estate for a long time and have sold hundreds of houses (some to and for people I have met on the Paceline). In that time I've met horrible agents who should not be in the business and fantastic agents who I would personally use if I were looking for an agent. What is interesting is sometimes agents who only sell 10 homes a year are great and some who sell a hundred a year I wouldn't buy an ice cream from.

One interesting ramification of the recent lawsuit: you have to sign a disclosure document and leave your contact info when viewing an open house. Otherwise, the realtor isn’t allowed to disclose any information to you.
Fun fact: W. Kamau Bell arrived a few minutes before I did. Loved his show. |

Not in CA. You are not required to sign anything. If you want info on the house (you walked into) from the agent, they can answer Qs all day long about the house.
Once the discussion diverts away to (a) do you have any other listings (b) are you working with an agent (c) I have an off market property a few blocks away (d) etc. then you need to have one of three forms signed. The new landscape will not be so good for newer agents that typically would hold other agents properties open so they can pick up buyers. I think we'll see more agents leaver the biz vs. new licensees on an annual basis (in CA). Quote:

You absolutely in California must sign to view properties. No idea where you got that.

I am an active broker in SF. I’ll stick with my legal guidance on open house protocol ( which is a neighbor, buyer or random passer by can enter and not sign in).

It is a mandatory form, and EVERY visitor must sign it or they won’t be allowed to view the home.” I’m not sure what the purpose of the new requirement is.

I don’t think we are geo limited on the “ rules” in CA. CAR sets the protocol, forms and rules. In short, you cannot force someone to sign anything. Sure, you can be a pushy agent and tell someone they cannot enter the home if they don’t sign in. But is that necessary? Different markets and price points would dictate that answer.
If someone does not want to sign the OHNA-SI, then limit the conversation to info only on the home and or what is on the statement. Nothing else. Quote:

Went to an open house* this past Saturday. Was not asked to sign anything. If I was, I would have turned around and walked out.
This in NC. *House is in my neighborhood so was looking to see how it aged as our house is of similar build. |

I can understand a buy-side agent requesting signed paperwork before accompanying a buyer. The "sign-here" or you don't get to tour the open house thing just doesn't make a lot of sense.
If I were the seller, in particular in a seller's market, I'd ask my agent why exactly this barrier is needed, and whose interest it protects. Often times in seller's markets, that's the only time a buyer tours a place, and I would not want to artificially reduce number of interested buyers (even if there may be looky-loos). Actually, if I were the seller, I'd have this ironed out before signing the engagement contract with my own (seller's) agent. If this is a sticking point, and if my RE attorney says such signing is not needed, I'd go find someone else. Last edited by echappist; 08-26-2024 at 04:44 PM. |

All of these laws and regulations around the home sale process exist to protect the interest of the realtor business and the NAR - they spend $50M a year lobbying.
