Last scannedAug 25, 2026, 2:25 AM

In one sentence

  • Requires real estate brokers to inform potential buyers or sellers that they do not need a written agreement to view properties during open houses.

Who it affects

  • Real estate brokers and salespeople
  • People interested in buying, selling, or leasing property

Limits and unknowns
