• For all Agents, your local association forms and NVAR forms are provided. Any additional forms may require a secondary membership paid by the Agent. 
• Agents should use the Global Templates created in Zipforms for aid in drafting paperwork.
• Verbal agreements are not binding.
• Agents are required to counter offers in writing unless prohibited due to the transaction being a Corporate Relocation Transaction.
• The use of “Buyer Love Letters” is discouraged by the Company per NAR.
