I agree, though I find it rather difficult to execute in a market where most agents do not ask for an agreement. It's just too easy to locate another hungry agent who's willing to chaffeur endlessly. I remember years ago before I became an agent, a Century 21 agent asked me to sign a buyer's agreement before I get to know her. I refused to sign for I didn't know if I wanted to get stuck with an agent whom I might not like. Or worse, an agent who might not work to my best interest. I remember asking her if I absolutely had to sign and her answer was no. So I didn't. In retrospect, I'm glad I didn't for she was awful.
