Is the Buyer Agency Agreement necessary in MD?

[Anonymous]

Our agent says

A Realtor may not submit an offer for you without a signed Buyer Agency Agreement.

Is that correct statement? Thanks

You can make it just for that specific offer on that specific listing.

What do you mean "our agent"?

If you don't have a signed agency agreement, how is that person *your* agent?

I think this might be true on that you need to indicate they can act for you on this transaction. Are you wanting to not use an agent?

I want to use an agent. Is there any legal document supporting your thought? As I searched online, there are many people who bought a property without signing such an agreement. I understand that it depends on the state. I cannot find a definite yes/no answer to my question.

It's absolutely a true statement. The vast majority of people on this site have no idea what they are talking about.

What does "is there any legal document supporting your thought" mean? DP, but agency principle law is pretty clear that there needs to be a basis for someone to act as an agent on behalf of the principle. I have no knowledge of the specific form in question, but I can tell you that there needs to be an agreement in place.

I bought a house in Bethesda about 10 years ago without a buyer's agent (no buyer agency agreement). There wasn't any issues at all. Don't understand why it would be different today, especially after the new ruling.

Why can you tell somebody something even if you have no knowledge of that?
