You go to a nice restaurant, order a steak and bottle of wine.  The waiter brings you your order and it is implied you will pay for your meal after consuming the steak and wine.

Failure to get a Buyers Agency Agreement signed often leads to an implied contract and failure of your fiduciary duties.

In our state until this is signed you are legally working for the seller, yet many will give their buyer customers the impression that they are actually working for them.  The agents give this impression by saying things that the sellers agent should not be saying, giving advice and opinions on things like price, terms, conditions and referring to them as "their buyer", rather than being very explicit that they are not working for the buyer and continually reminding the buyer that they are working for the seller until this is signed.

They're not worth the paper they're written on.

OH WAIT! They're not written - they're not valid in any court of law in NC or SC.

Real estate contracts in Florida do not have to be in writing but they cannot be enforced unless they are in writting.  Also, get changes to the contract in writing, too!

Let's go beyond the real estate agent arena.

The courts LOVE the implied contract of 'peaceful enjoyment.'

If you intend to be a landlord, understand you will lose this case every time if harassing is the #1 means of getting a tenant to move out.

Implied "contract" in real estate?? In WA state all real estate "contracts" must be in writing and signed by both parties. I beleive this will be covered in the Contract Law portion of your studies. Implied agency is a different story.
