The Real Estate Agent Termination Letter is a crucial document used in Australian real estate practice when a property owner wishes to end their professional relationship with a real estate agent or agency. This document must comply with Australian federal and state-specific real estate regulations, including the Property and Stock Agents Act 2002 and relevant Fair Trading legislation. It is typically used when there is dissatisfaction with services, when changing agents, or when property sales objectives change. The letter must include specific elements such as clear identification of parties, property details, effective termination date, and any relevant notice periods as required by state law. It serves as an official record of the termination and helps protect both parties' legal interests while ensuring a professional conclusion to the business relationship.
