The Real Estate Agent Contract is a fundamental document used in the Netherlands when engaging professional real estate services for property transactions. This contract is essential for establishing clear terms between real estate agents and their clients, whether for property sales, purchases, or rentals. It must comply with Dutch legal requirements, including the Civil Code, Real Estate Agent and Valuers Act, and relevant regulatory frameworks. The document typically includes detailed service descriptions, commission structures, obligations of both parties, and specific provisions for compliance with Dutch anti-money laundering and data protection laws. It's particularly important in the Dutch market where real estate transactions are highly regulated and professional representation is common practice.
