STATE REFERENCE · BUYER AGREEMENTS
Mississippi: buyer-agreement requirements.
Mississippi — buyer-agreement requirements. Regulating authority: Mississippi Real Estate Commission (MREC). Written agreement required: Not verified.
This page lists what Mississippi requires, at the state level, before a licensee represents a buyer: who regulates real-estate licensees, whether a written buyer agreement is required by state law or rule, the statute or rule that says so, and whether the state mandates an agency-disclosure form or publishes an approved agreement form.
It is built for broker-owners and transaction coordinators who need the state rule in one place before setting office policy. Read it alongside your brokerage's own forms and your broker of record's guidance — the written-agreement question became a national practice issue in 2024, but the rule that binds you is your state's, and it is the state rule this page cites.

Notes. Tier 1 only. We confirmed the regulator and its official site; we did NOT verify any Mississippi statute or commission rule on written buyer agreements, so every rule field on this row is blank on purpose. Separately, the NAR/MLS practice changes effective 2024-08-17 reach you through any NAR-affiliated MLS you belong to regardless of what state law says — check your MLS's own rules too, and let the stricter of the two govern what you actually do.
Where this comes from.
Regulator. Mississippi Real Estate Commission (MREC)
Cited. No statute or rule was cited for this row in this pass.
Status. Authority identified — rule not verified, last verified 2026-08-15. Start with the regulating authority link — it is the primary source. Then read the statute or rule cite and confirm it against the authority's current published text. The verification status below tells you exactly how far this row was checked; anything marked "not verified" is a starting point for your own confirmation, not a conclusion.
What to confirm.
Put these in writing to the Mississippi Real Estate Commission (MREC) and file the reply with its date: (1) Does Mississippi law or commission rule require a written buyer representation agreement between the buyer and the BROKERAGE — and if so, by what point: first substantive contact, before touring, or before an offer? (2) Does the commission publish a mandatory or approved agency disclosure form, and when must it be delivered? (3) Does the commission publish an approved or mandatory buyer agreement form? Ask for the statute or rule number in the answer. Trade press reported a bill, SB 2713, signed in March 2026 dealing with when a brokerage agreement must be signed. We could not reach the legislature's bill-status server to verify it. Ask MREC directly whether it passed, what it requires, and when it took effect.
