Buyers broker question

[Michael Galesky]

Ok so I made the move for an offer and I have asked for a buyers broker agreement so I can discuss things with the agent and have some confidentiality.  The agent said they don't do buyers brokerage agreements saying that there was really no point to them.  In Wisconsin I am a customer without one and a client with one.  How is it in Ohio?  And what does the group think about this?

@Michael Galesky Is this with your personal broker or with the listing agent? If it is the listing agent, go find a different agent to represent you in that capacity. If not, I am surprised the agent is saying that you don't need one, it usually is the requirement of most brokerages to have one.
