Co-Broker Commission Agreement

08 avr Co-Broker Commission Agreement

However, the court found that the contract between Monopoly Realty and World Business Brokers, although a « bad deal » for Monopoly Realty, was binding and enforceable for all parties. It also found that the co-mediation agreement had been supported by an appropriate consideration (information that the property was for sale) and could not have been terminated by Monopoly Realty after receiving the information. The Tribunal found that World Business Brokers had fulfilled its obligations under the terms of the contract and that the contract was therefore enforceable. Representatives of both parties should agree in advance to the co-brokerage commission, taking into account their obligations to act in the best interests of their respective clients. The sharing of commissions for a real estate transaction is exclusively an agreement between the two agents. It is a proactive way to track the sale of a property. One broker delivers an exclusive offer from the seller and the other brings the customer. The selling real estate agent has his written exclusivity agreement with the owner who gives the authorization and requires him to distribute it to other real estate agents in New York, if he is a member of the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY). If a representative representing the tenant is invited by the lessor to manage the property, the broker may enter into a business contract with the owner to manage the property and collect an administration fee for its services. The tenant`s representative must enter into a sales contract with the landlord.

The sales contract makes it clear that the broker is not acting for the lessor and that the payment of the tax is exclusively for the introduction of the tenant to the lessor. The real estate agent must also declare in writing to the tenant that he receives a fee from the landlord. This is apparently the extent to which World Business Brokers participated in the transaction. Monopoly Realty has performed all the typical tasks of trading agents without the additional support of World Business Brokers. In addition, at one point, after the agreement between the two agents, but before the actual sale of the property, Monopoly Realty attempted to revoke the agreement by stating that World Business Brokers was not doing any work to obtain a sale. Monopoly Realty eventually sold the property and got a real estate commission. Similarly, in the case of rental transactions, if the broker representing the tenant is not paid, he can go to the lessor for a fee for the introduction of the tenant, provided that this condition exists: complex commercial real estate transactions may require an experienced real estate agent to devote time and effort to obtain a sale.
