As a broker, do I have to allow my agents to show property without representation?

No. Unrepresented showings are one option available to license holders and consumers, but a broker may decide that the broker’s business model is best suited to working with clients who have signed a representation agreement. In that case a Buyer/Tenant Representation Agreement - Long Form (TXR 1501) or Buyer/Tenant Representation Agreement – Short Form (TXR 1507) can be used. The short form is a simple, one-page form that can be used for one day, for showing a single property, and can be for a fee or no fee. It’s up to the broker and the client.
