Article 1 - Description of contract
Basic Package, non-exclusive sale. The seller keeps open the possibility of the property also being advertised through other estate agents. The agent receives a 5% commission of the selling price if the property is sold to a buyer who became aware of the property by means of the agent.
Plus package, exclusive sales.
The seller provides the property for sale exclusively through the agent.
Features of the plus package: the house appears as a featured house on the website, professional photos, advertising on international housing sites. The agent will receive 3% commission of the selling price if the house is sold.
Article 2 – Agent Commission and Payment
VAT is added to the commission fee. The fee is calculated on the selling price.
Entitlement to commission by the agent is at the time of a purchase agreement between the seller and a buyer who is alerted by means of the agent on the property, regardless of how this is done; either via the website or by a visit to the property, or any other form of publication of the property by the agent.
Even if the buyer intends to have a purchase agreement as above with any other person or legal entity to which he is connected, the duty of the seller continues, and the agreement to pay commission to the agent still exists.
Even if the buyer, as defined above, intends to directly have a purchase agreement with the seller without the intervention of the agent, the seller's obligation to pay commission to the agent will always exist.
From the moment of commissioning by the seller, the agent is allowed in name and in representation of the seller to conclude a contract on behalf of the seller as well as taking payments for the process of a sale.
The agent receives 50% of his commission when the buyer makes the first payment to the seller and then 50% upon signing of the deed at the notary. The seller gives the agent permission to retain his commission from the payments made by the buyer.
Once the purchase agreement is signed and an initial payment is made to the seller, the agent is entitled to 50% of the agreed fee in the event that the buyer or the seller withdraws from the agreement. However, the amount which the agent has the right to will never be more than the payment made.
