The Buyer Agent Exclusive Agreement is a crucial document in Swiss real estate transactions where a buyer seeks dedicated representation in their property search. This agreement becomes particularly important in competitive real estate markets where buyers need professional representation to access and evaluate properties effectively. The document, governed by Swiss law, particularly the Code of Obligations (OR/CO), establishes an exclusive relationship that prevents the buyer from engaging other agents and ensures the agent's commitment to the buyer's interests. It typically includes detailed provisions about property requirements, territory coverage, commission structures, and service scope. The agreement is especially relevant for high-value transactions, foreign buyers subject to Lex Koller restrictions, or complex commercial property acquisitions. The document must comply with both federal and cantonal regulations, making it essential to adapt the agreement to specific regional requirements while maintaining its core exclusive agency provisions.
