The Real Estate Agent Agreement is a crucial document used in Hong Kong's property market to formalize the relationship between property owners and licensed real estate agents. This agreement is essential when a property owner wishes to engage a professional agent to market, sell, or lease their property. It must comply with Hong Kong's Estate Agents Ordinance (Cap. 511) and related regulations, which set strict requirements for real estate agency practices. The document typically includes detailed provisions about the property, commission structures, marketing strategies, and mutual obligations. It's particularly important in Hong Kong's dynamic property market, where transactions often involve significant values and require careful attention to regulatory compliance. The agreement protects both parties' interests while ensuring transparency and professional standards in property transactions.
