Description

The Referral Fee Letter for Real Estate serves as a formal agreement between an owner of a property and a referral agent who assists in finding a buyer. This document outlines the terms under which the agent will receive a percentage of the sale price as a referral fee upon the successful sale of the property. Key features include the stipulation that the fee is payable upon delivery of the Bill of Sale, and provisions for the agent's responsibilities, including limitations on making promises about the property without owner's consent. The agreement also establishes that the relationship is that of independent contractors, ensuring no partnership or employment ties are formed. It contains termination clauses, indemnification provisions, and procedures for handling disputes through arbitration. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and associates for structuring clear commissions and liability limits. Paralegals and legal assistants can utilize the letter to ensure proper documentation and compliance with applicable laws, while owners benefit by clearly outlining payment terms and expectations before engaging referral agents.
