"Beginning January 1st, 2025, buyer representation agreements will be required by California law for all real estate licensees in almost all sales transactions. Under this law, the representation period is capped at three months unless the buyer is a corporation, partnership, or LLC. Renewals are permitted but cannot be automatic and cannot exceed a new three-month period." - C.A.R.
