When is a Buyer's Representation Agreement enforceable?

A Buyer's Representation Agreement becomes enforceable within the specific market area named in the agreement. This means that the real estate agent has a duty to represent the buyer's interests regarding properties located within that defined geographical area. The enforceability is tied to the agent's obligation to act on behalf of the buyer only in that specified region, ensuring that the agreement is relevant and applicable to the properties that fall under that jurisdiction.

The agreement does not become enforceable simply by being signed by the buyer or by being filed with a local board. It is also not applicable to any property in the state without restrictions. These limitations ensure that the agreement remains focused and relevant, protecting both the agent's and the buyer's interests within a designated area.
