New Exclusivity Contract and Buyers Fees in Ohio

[Alysa Demetre]

Hi, I'm looking at a a new realtor and he asked me to sign an exclusivity agreement and in it compensation to the brokerage is $350 and 3% with a minimum of $3500. He states it's because of that new lawsuit with the seller's fees. Is signing this agreement the case with all realtors in Ohio now? Just curious if this will be the new norm. I'm an out of state investor. Haven't done it with past realtors but also that was before the lawsuit.
