Model for the delegation of a real estate mandate between two agencies. This model includes explanations and precise legal wording to cover all essential aspects of the collaboration.
PREAMBLE :
Legal clarification:
Under Article 1 of the Hoguet Law of January 2, 1970, real estate professionals may delegate a sales mandate to another professional holding a professional real estate agent's license (Carte T). Although a written agreement is not mandatory , it is strongly recommended to avoid any disputes or ambiguities. This document formalizes the respective commitments of the parties and specifies the conditions under which the delegation is exercised.
This contract therefore aims to formalize the delegation of a real estate mandate , by defining the obligations of each of the agencies for the sale of the property detailed below.
The Court of Cassation , in its judgment of January 9, 2019 (no. 17-27841) , confirmed that the Hoguet Law of January 2, 1970, does not apply to relationships between real estate professionals . Therefore, the delegation of authority can be verbal and does not require any mandatory written formalization . However, it is strongly recommended to formalize this agreement in writing to clarify the commitments of each party and avoid any ambiguity.
