An exclusive seller brokerage engagement agreement establishes a client relationship between seller and real estate broker. The seller gives permission for the broker to exclusively represent them in listing and selling the identified property following the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement.
What's a major disadvantage of a non-exclusive buyer brokerage agreement? The disadvantage of of a non-exclusive agreement is that agents are more likely to put your needs behind those of their clients who have signed exclusive buyer brokerage agreements with them.
Under an Exclusive Buyer-Broker Agreement, the buyer is designating their agent as their sole representative, and cannot bypass the agent to go to another agent or directly to the listing agent.
The general answer to this question is yes. The Brokerage Relationships in Real Estate Transactions Act (“BRRETA”) requires that a written brokerage engagement agreement be signed by the broker and his or her client to establish a client relationship. (See O.C.G.A. § 10-6A-3.)
Notice of the Binding Agreement Date may be delivered by either party (or the Broker working with or representing such party) to the other party. If notice of the accurate Binding Agreement Date is delivered, the party receiving the notice shall sign the same and immediately return it to the other party.
