The real estate brokerage contract is a civil service act that contains a series of clear data that establish the rights and obligations of the parties.

A real estate transaction normally takes place between two natural and / or legal entities. The real estate transaction is concluded following the signing of the contract of sale with the notary. So far the process is relatively simple and everything seems very easy. In reality, things are different and we will explain why.

It often happens that the people involved in the real estate field (sellers, buyers, etc.) do not have enough experience and training on everything that means the whole process. Real estate agents use their knowledge and experience with real estate to help the people involved in the transaction. They will ensure that each party involved is satisfied with the choice made, and in exchange for working with them, they will enjoy a trading commission.

Because some people did not keep their word, and in exchange for the help they received, they did not offer the promised commission to the agency or the real estate agent, the real estate brokerage contract was finally created.
