Open Houses in Brooklyn Heights

It's a written agreement between you and your buyer's broker that outlines the services you'll receive and how your broker is compensated. Under REBNY's UCBA 2025 guidelines, this agreement must be signed before your broker can show you properties. You can still attend open houses independently without one.

In most NYC transactions, the seller pays the buyer's broker commission. The agreement simply formalizes the relationship and ensures you have dedicated representation.

Agreements can be structured with flexible terms. We'll discuss duration and scope that work for you. You're never pressured into a long-term commitment.

No. You can attend open houses on your own without signing anything. The agreement is only required when you want a buyer's broker to represent you and show you properties. Once you're ready for dedicated representation, I can negotiate on your behalf, access building financials, and guide your offer strategy.

It's New York State's Agency Disclosure form that explains the different types of broker relationships. I'll walk you through it so you understand exactly how I represent your interests.
