Real estate brokerage disputes usually arise over commission entitlement, dual brokerage on the same deal between more than one broker, or breach of a signed brokerage agreement's terms. Whether you're a seller or buyer facing a commission claim you believe is unwarranted, or a broker seeking to collect their legitimate commission, precisely understanding brokerage agreement terms is essential to resolving this type of dispute. The next step is reaching out on WhatsApp.

Reviewing the Brokerage Agreement to Determine Commission Entitlement

We precisely review the signed brokerage agreement to determine actual commission entitlement terms, since some agreements require actually closing the deal, while others might grant the broker a commission right merely by introducing the buyer even if another party closed the deal.

Dual Brokerage Disputes on the Same Deal

When more than one broker is involved in the same deal, we review agreements and correspondence to determine which broker was the actual cause of closing it, a decisive standard in determining commission entitlement when more than one broker disputes it.

Representing Brokers in Claiming Their Commissions

We represent licensed brokers in claiming commissions owed to them when a seller or buyer refuses payment after the deal closes thanks to their actual effort, documenting this effort with necessary evidence to support the claim.

Defending Against Unwarranted Commission Claims

We help sellers and buyers defend against commission claims they believe are unwarranted, such as cases where the broker had no actual role in closing the deal despite claiming so.

Verifying the Real Estate Broker's Licensing

We always advise formally verifying the real estate broker's licensing before dealing with them, since dealing with an unlicensed broker could deprive you of available statutory protection when any subsequent commission dispute arises.

Exclusivity Terms in Brokerage Agreements

We review exclusivity clauses in brokerage agreements, which grant the broker a commission right even if the seller closes the deal themselves without the broker's involvement during the exclusivity period, and help parties precisely understand this obligation's scope.

Agreed Commission Percentage Disputes

Sometimes a disagreement arises over the actual agreed commission percentage, especially absent a clear written agreement, and we help parties establish the correct percentage based on prevailing custom and exchanged correspondence.

We help brokers and parties in major industrial real estate deals in the Eastern Province draft clear brokerage agreements precisely defining service scope and due commission, preventing future disputes.

Proving Verbal Brokerage Without a Written Contract
