A Real Estate Agency is an organization that consists of a certain number of Real Estate Agents. One can approach the Real Estate Agency when one looks to buy and thus search for new Real Estate Properties. The real Estate Agency initially comes to know the buyer’s wants and needs out of the property and then keeping the budget of the buyer in mind searches for the appropriate kind of Real Estate Property. For doing this the Real Estate Agency charges a certain kind of amount to the buyer of the property which is actually considered as the commission.

The Real Estate Agency is specially used by the sellers of different Real Estate properties for finding out various suitable buyers for the property. Before the Real Estate Agency goes to look for any kind of real estate buyer a contract is normally signed between the owner of the property and the Real Estate Agency. Which normally decides the amount of commission the Real Estate Agency is going to get and in return the Real estate agency would look that the owner of the property gets the highest amount of price for his property. This binds the agents of the Real Estate Agency legally to look into the owner’s interest.

Possible Types of Contracts

One can have three types of contracts with the Real Estate Agency. They are:

  • The Real Estate Agency would only work for the seller of the property and nobody else and would only look to provide the highest amount of profit for the owner of the property.
  • The Real Estate Agency would only work for a particular buyer and would only look for the buyers profit.
  • The Agency would work for both the buyer and the seller or can also act as the representative of a group of people who want to inherit a certain property.

The Real Estate Agency would also help the buyer and the seller both by providing appropriate information about the market and if the clients have any question he should answer them.
