Conjunction agreement: a seller can hire more than one real estate agent. The commission is paid to the agency that succeeds in securing the sale. Unlike the open listing contract, the real estate agent represents the seller under an exclusive agency contract. The seller always reserves the right to sell the property himself and not to pay the broker`s commission fees. Once you have decided to use the services of an agent, an agreement must be signed by both parties. The type of sale and the number of agents involved affect the nature of the deal you are going to make. A full summary of the agreements by country is available below. The only difference between an exclusive agency and an individual agency is the seller`s right to receive an agreed commission or other reward for the sale of the property.
