10 CCR § 2906.2. Timing of Agreement Execution.

Timing of Agreement Execution.

(a) Section 1670.50(a) of the Civil Code provides that “[a] buyer-broker representation agreement shall be executed between a buyer's agent and a buyer as soon as practicable, but no later than the execution of the buyer's offer to purchase real property.” For purposes of Section 1670.50(a) of the Civil Code, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that it is practicable for a buyer's agent to obtain a signed buyer-broker representation agreement before the buyer's agent, or a salesperson or broker associate affiliated with that agent, shows a buyer a property in person or virtually.

(b) A virtual showing occurs when a buyer's agent, or a salesperson or broker associate affiliated with that agent, at the direction of that buyer, enters into or onto property that is for sale to provide to that buyer who is not physically present a live or recorded, digital walk-through of that property, including, but not limited to, images of the property's exterior or interior features.

(c) A seller's agent acting solely on behalf of a seller is not acting as a buyer's agent in showing a property to potential buyers, whether at an open house or any other showing.
