Starting next weekend, this is the form you will see at every open house in California. It is a mandatory form, and EVERY visitor must sign it or they won’t be allowed to view the home.
What’s worse is that the association will be sending shoppers around to verify agents are using the form, and properly explaining the options. Fines will be levied upon those who don’t.
Visitors will want to use their real name, just in case they decide to buy the home. But you’d be crazy to give your actual phone number because the agent will call you until you buy or die.
Buyers need to be prepared to take the next step if they like it – do you buy it from the agent on duty? How many other buyers are they already representing? Should I hire my own buyer-agent?
