What a mess this will be.

If I am reading things right, there will not be standard contract language for buyers to sign, meaning that there can be many different versions of what a buyer is signing on to pay — and for how long the commitment to that agent will be.

A lot of dust needs to settle on this. Buyers better be extremely careful what they sign. Looks to me like you could end up “married” to an agent you just met in the driveway, signed, and then find out you do not like or trust that agent.

I admit I am not actually clear on any of this. All I really know is if you are buying and/or selling at this time, you better educate yourself on what all this means and be very, very careful before signing anything.
