If the open house is being done by listing agent you do not have to sign a Buyers Agency. But on the flip side they are limited to what they can help you with since you want to fly solo. Best if you sign a representation agreement. If the relationship doesnt work out you can always cancel or do a limited agreement per property.

If it is a material defect and you know that it is leaking you need to disclose it or risk getting sued if a buyer finds out otherwise. If your agent is experienced in problem solving I would call a roofing contractor to do an evaluation fix it if its simple or possibly get your roof replaced if it has enough storm damage you file a claim through insurance. Problem solved.
