Nebraska: buyer-agreement requirements.

This page lists what Nebraska 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.

Nebraska, field by field.

Notes. Scope is the point on this row. For residential property of no fewer than one and no more than four dwelling units, 'a designated broker acting as a single agent for a buyer ... shall enter into a written agency agreement.' For other property types the statute says a written agreement MAY be entered into — permissive, not mandatory. The agreement must include the § 76-2418 duties and responsibilities, the compensation terms, a fixed expiration date, and whether subagency offers may be made to other brokers.
