Buying in Utah
Questions buyers often ask.
General information only — not legal, tax, or lender advice. Confirm details for your own transaction.
Do I need a real estate agent to buy a home in Utah?
You can buy a home without an agent, but many buyers choose to work with a licensed REALTOR®. Following nationwide practice changes that took effect in 2024, buyers who want to tour homes with an agent are typically asked to sign a written buyer-broker agreement first. That agreement should spell out the services and how the agent may be paid. This is general information, not legal advice — talk with Kyra, or with a Utah real estate attorney, about your situation.
Who pays the buyer’s agent in Utah?
Compensation is negotiable. It is no longer assumed that a seller’s listing will include a blanket offer of buyer-broker compensation through the MLS the way it often did before 2024. A seller may still offer to pay some or all of a buyer’s broker fee, a buyer may agree to pay their own agent, or the parties may negotiate a combination. Whatever is agreed should be in writing. This is general information, not a promise about any one transaction.
What is earnest money, and is it refundable?
Earnest money is a good-faith deposit you typically make when your offer is accepted. In Utah it is often held by a title or escrow company and credited toward your closing costs or down payment if the sale closes. Whether it is refundable depends on the contract and on meeting deadlines in it — for example, during a due-diligence period. Ask your agent and the title company how earnest money will be handled on your offer.
What should I review during due diligence?
Buyers commonly schedule a home inspection and review the seller’s property condition disclosures, HOA resale documents if the home is in an association, and any well, septic, or water-rights information that applies. Utah closings are typically handled by a title company, and buyers often purchase title insurance; who pays which closing costs is negotiable and may follow local custom. This is general information, not legal advice. Confirm details with your agent, inspector, and title company.
Should I get a mortgage pre-approval before I shop?
If you plan to finance the purchase, a pre-approval from a lender helps you understand a comfortable price range and can make your offer clearer to a seller. The mortgage calculator on this site is only a rough estimate — it is not a lender quote, and it does not include every cost of owning a home. Kyra can also point you to lenders; you are always free to choose your own.
