BIC TIP #1329: They Added the Box
They added the box! The most recent revision of the Offer to Purchase and Contract (Form 2-T) now includes a checkbox for the Buyer Agent Compensation addendum.
What Changed?
- Before, you had to check “Other” in the addenda section and write the addendum in by hand.
- Now there is a dedicated box for the Buyer Agent Compensation addendum.
- It makes it easier for everyone at the table to see that the addendum is part of the contract.
Why It Matters
Compensation is one of the most closely watched parts of the transaction right now. A clear checkbox reduces the chance that the addendum gets missed, misread or left out of the contract package.
The Practical Takeaway
Make sure you are working from the current version of the form. If a Buyer Agent Compensation addendum is part of your deal, check the box, attach the addendum, and confirm it is signed with the rest of the contract.
