This is always put in writing with me, or I wont work with the client. So far, every buyer I have met with has signed a exclusive buyers’ agency agreement with me. Sometimes, I find that once I invite them to the office, they will say something like “well, I have to be honest with you, we already have a realtor. He is just to busy to take us out… Can’t you just show it to us?”. The initial buyers interview is extremely inmportant, so the client know how everything works and what rights they have, and so the agent does not waste precious time on a client that can’t buy, or has no intention of using you.

Every agent should qualify their client, and inform them well… When I was working as an assistant in my earliest days, I would sometimes recieve a call from an ad, and would invite them to the office. My boss would get mad, as say that if someone wants to see something, I am to just show it to them. I wasted a lot of time working for him, and it is simply not professional.
