I ask because I didn't sign one until we were putting in an offer (which is understandable at that point)- however a few friends who have used what I consider "questionable agents" they asked them to sign a contract right away. I'm just wondering if my agent was too trusting, or if the immediate contract was something to watch out for.

I was attempting to be a first time buyer a couple of years ago and the realtor I was working with (as recommended by my insurance broker) never had me sign any sort of contract stating they were my agent. The only things I ever signed were the offers. Of which I ended up putting in offers 8 different times on 8 different places over a span of 6 months, all of which were never followed up on and lost to other more agressive agents acting on behalf of their clients.
