This tool is not a law firm and does not replace the official forms of your state association or the advice of a licensed attorney. Requirements differ by state — a non-compliant agreement can be void (California) or expose your license to discipline (Texas). Have your broker or a local attorney review your agreement before use.

Frequently asked questions

When is a written representation agreement required in Oregon?

Anytime a licensee is representing a buyer, under House Bill 4058, signed by the Governor on March 7, 2024 and effective January 1, 2025. Oregon adopted its requirement before the NAR settlement terms took effect nationally on August 17, 2024. The Oregon REALTORS association forms were updated on January 1, 2025 to comply.

What must an Oregon buyer representation agreement include?

HB 4058 requires: the licensee’s license number; the name and telephone number of a principal broker responsible for supervision; the term with effective and expiration dates; the description of a buyer’s agent legal obligations under ORS 696.810 or a reference to the agency disclosure pamphlet delivered under ORS 696.820; the buyer’s general search criteria; termination rights for both buyer and licensee; and whether the agreement is exclusive or nonexclusive.

How long can an Oregon buyer representation agreement last?

No more than 24 months without being actively renewed by the licensee and the buyer, under HB 4058. The term must show an effective date and an expiration date. This page warns you live if the dates you enter exceed the 24-month cap, so an accidentally long term never reaches your client’s file.

Why does the Oregon agreement ask for the buyer’s search criteria?

Because HB 4058 makes them required content. The statute describes them as the buyer’s general search criteria, which may include the price range of the desired property and its location. Stating them in the agreement sets expectations about what the agent is engaged to find and helps define the scope of the representation.
