Hi Sara,
Thank you for your question. The agreement your Mom is talking about is probably an "Exclusive Buyer" agreement. They are becoming more and more common but not required. They will usually have a time limit on them. As with any contract read it and know what you are signing before committing yourself to anything. - Thu May 8 2008, 08:49
