The Estate Agency Agreement is a crucial document used in the Maltese real estate market when a property owner wishes to engage a professional estate agent to market and sell/lease their property. This agreement, governed by Maltese law, particularly the Real Estate Agents, Property Brokers and Property Consultants Act, sets out the complete framework of the agency relationship. It defines essential elements such as the agent's authority, commission structure, marketing approach, and duration of the appointment. The document is designed to protect both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with Malta's strict real estate regulations, including anti-money laundering requirements and data protection laws. It's particularly important in Malta's dynamic property market, where clear terms of engagement between agents and property owners are essential for successful transactions.
