PROPERTY ACCESS AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Does unlocking a lockbox entitle a real estate agent to thousands of dollars in commissions? We don’t think so.
Under the post-settlement rules, real estate agents must have a signed written agreement before showing you a home. However, traditional brokers often use standard touring agreements as a trap—sneaking in long-term exclusivity clauses, heavy commissions, or procuring cause claims before you’ve even decided if you like the house.
This sample Property Access and Security Agreement unbundles physical access from real estate brokerage services. It establishes that the person opening the door is acting strictly as an authorized Property Access Escort and steward—not your fiduciary, agent, or sales representative.
Key Protections Built Into This Sample:
100% Non-Exclusive: You retain total freedom to work with any attorney, flat-fee broker, or advisor of your choice.
Physical Access Only: Limits the escort’s role strictly to granting entry and securing the property.
No Unwanted Exclusive Contracts: Prevents agents from forcing you into a multi-month exclusive buyer agency contract just to submit an offer on the house you viewed.
Zero Procuring Cause Claims: Explicitly waives claims to future sales commissions merely for opening the front door.
