Hello, after the lawsuit are buyers representation necessary and required?

The buyer signs a representation agreement with no locked in period, with the flat fee buyer agency.2.

We need a buyer's representation agreement signed before we can show.

I would rather be direct to buyers.

No sure about that as buyers want to see the finished product and showing them before pictures will often not be well received.That's funny, my wife said the exact same thing about showing them the before pictures.

What the DOJ and consumer advocates are saying, is that buyers and buyer agents should be setting the buyer agent compensation amount, not the seller.
