UPDATE TO FORM 201 - EXCLUSIVE BUYER AGENCY AGREEMENT
Effective immediately, the Exclusive Buyer Agency Agreement (Form 201) in the NC REALTORS® forms library has been revised to remove the VA loan language in Paragraph 4(b)(ii).
The previous language warned that a buyer using a VA loan was prohibited by federal law from paying their buyer’s agent a fee. The Department of Veterans Affairs suspended this federal law in May 2024 after completion of NCR’s forms change cycle. Since VA buyers are now permitted to pay their broker a fee while the rule is suspended, Form 201 has been amended accordingly.
