Also, the law states that you can attend open houses and ask questions without signing anything. You don’t need an agent to buy if you prefer to DIY.
This law will reduce double dipping by selling agent and reduce seller fees by offering half of the usual 5 - 6 % commission as the buyers are on their own.
