If you did not sign an agreement with your buyer's agent then the agent was actually a sub agent who represented the seller. So you had no agent. Just another example of a person on this site that is completely clueless.

This is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of how no one really knows what they are talking about on this site. Once the settlement is approved, an agent must have a buyer agency agreement in place before showing ONE HOUSE to a buyer.

What you said is just wrong if you remove "Once the settlement is approved" -- I don't know what kind of settlement you referred to. I saw houses with at least two agents without signing anything. I think your case is a Perfect Example.
