Buyers agreement North Carolina

[Chad Ha]

I recently moved to North Carolina and we are looking at buying a home. We went to one real estate agent and they told us in order to show a home in the state of North Carolina that a buyers agreement must be signed.  Is this a North Carolina law, broker policy, or just a bait tactic?  Thanks

False. That is probably their individual company policy. They may require it so they don't waste their time showing you homes, only to lose the commission of you going direct to the buyer or using a different agent. Not a law.
