The Real Estate Agent Contract is a crucial document used in the Belgian real estate market to formalize the relationship between professional real estate agents and property owners. It is essential for compliance with Belgian federal and regional regulations, particularly the Law of 11 February 2013 on the Organization of the Profession of Real Estate Agent and associated Royal Decrees. This contract type is required when property owners wish to engage a professional agent to market, sell, or rent their property, and it must include specific provisions regarding professional obligations, commission structures, and service levels. The document needs to comply with Belgian linguistic requirements depending on the region (Brussels-Capital, Flanders, or Wallonia) and must incorporate elements of consumer protection law, anti-money laundering regulations, and data protection requirements. It serves as both a legal protection and a operational framework for all parties involved in the real estate transaction process.
