The Broker Lease Agreement is a crucial document in Nigerian real estate practice, designed to formalize the professional relationship between property owners and licensed real estate brokers. This agreement is essential when property owners wish to engage professional assistance in leasing their properties, whether commercial or residential. It details the broker's authority to market the property, screen potential tenants, negotiate lease terms, and earn commission, all while complying with Nigerian real estate regulations and professional standards. The document becomes particularly important in major Nigerian commercial centers where professional real estate services are in high demand. It includes specific provisions required by Nigerian law, including broker licensing requirements, anti-money laundering compliance, and state-specific real estate regulations. The agreement protects both parties' interests by clearly defining roles, responsibilities, and compensation terms.
