Legislative Updates

In an effort to simplify the home-buying process, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has signed a new law allowing homebuyers to sign a buyer brokerage agreement only before making an offer, instead of being required to do so when touring a home. This change ensures that buyers will not need to commit to an agent before evaluating available properties. It also aligns with the existing Real Estate Consumers Agency and Disclosure Act, following recommendations from the Department of Justice regarding buyer representation agreements.
