The Agency Listing Agreement is a fundamental document in Irish real estate transactions, used when a property owner wishes to engage a professional real estate agent to market and sell/lease their property. This document is essential for compliance with Irish property services regulations, particularly the Property Services (Regulation) Act 2011, and establishes clear terms of engagement between the parties. The agreement typically covers critical aspects such as the agent's authority, commission structure, marketing strategy, and service scope, while ensuring adherence to PSRA requirements and consumer protection laws. It's particularly important in both residential and commercial property transactions in Ireland, providing legal protection for both the property owner and the agent while setting clear expectations for the services to be provided.
