The Buyer Agent Commission Agreement is a crucial document in Indian real estate transactions that formalizes the relationship between a property buyer and their chosen real estate agent. This agreement becomes necessary when a buyer seeks professional representation in property transactions, whether for residential, commercial, or investment purposes. The document, governed by Indian law and RERA regulations, typically includes detailed commission structures, service scope, exclusivity terms, and protection periods. It serves as a legal safeguard for both parties by clearly defining the agent's responsibilities in property search, negotiation, and transaction support, while establishing the buyer's obligations regarding commission payment and cooperation. This agreement is particularly important in the Indian context where real estate transactions require careful documentation and compliance with various regulatory requirements.
