The Real Estate Agent Contract is a crucial document in Australian property transactions, used to formalize the relationship between property owners and licensed real estate professionals. It is essential for compliance with federal and state-specific real estate regulations, including the Property and Stock Agents Act 2002 and various state-level property laws. This contract type is required whenever a property owner engages a real estate agent or agency for services such as property sales, leasing, or management. The document includes comprehensive details about service scope, commission structures, marketing arrangements, agent authorities, and obligations of all parties. It's designed to protect both the principal's and agent's interests while ensuring compliance with Australian consumer protection laws, privacy regulations, and professional conduct requirements. The contract's structure accommodates various property types and service arrangements, from simple sales agreements to complex property management services.
