The Buyer's Agent Agreement is a crucial document in Indian real estate transactions that formalizes the professional relationship between a property buyer and their chosen real estate agent. This agreement becomes necessary when an individual or organization seeks professional assistance in identifying, evaluating, and purchasing property in India. The document must comply with the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) and other applicable Indian laws, making it essential for regulated real estate transactions. It typically includes detailed provisions about the agent's services, commission structure, exclusivity terms (if any), and the specific requirements of the property being sought. The agreement protects both parties' interests by clearly defining roles, responsibilities, and expectations while ensuring compliance with local regulatory requirements. It's particularly important in the Indian context where real estate transactions can be complex and require careful navigation of legal and regulatory frameworks.
