There are three versions that differ depending on whether the contract is exclusive or not: simple mandate<\/strong>, \u00a0exclusive mandate \u00a0and semi-exclusive mandate<\/strong>. The simple mandate is interesting when an owner wants to keep control of the sale of his property, while benefiting from the expertise of several real estate agencies. But this model, as uncommitted as it is, does not only have advantages. Findthe information you need to know before signing.<\/p>\n

What is a simple sales mandate?<\/h2>\n

The simple sales mandate, like the exclusive mandate, contractualizes the professional exchange between the seller of a property and the real estate agent<\/strong> who will take charge of this sale. As opposed to the exclusive mandate, the simple mandate does not give the exclusivity of the<\/strong> property to a single real estate agency. Thus, the seller can call on other agencies if he wishes to benefit from a wider distribution,but none of these agencies will have a monopoly. The seller can, as part of the simple mandate, sell his property without going through one of the agent agencies, if the opportunity arises.<\/p>\n

It is the most flexible mandate<\/strong> of the three, but it does not have only advantages. This type of mandate is not very exhilarating for real estate agents who often prefer to have exclusivity on a property. In addition to this possible loss of motivation on the part of agents, buyers may neglect your property because it is not exclusive. Finally, the property may be displayed at different prices depending on the agency, which can damage its credibility.<\/p>\n

Also note that a mandate is irrevocable for a period of three months<\/strong>. At the end of this period, the mandate istacitly renewed for a period of one month and can be renewed every month for one year if you do not object.<\/p>\n

What does the simple mandate commit you to?<\/h2>\n

The simple mandate is more flexible than the exclusive mandate, but it is nevertheless subject to certain rules<\/strong>. The first concerns direct sales, from individual to individual. Although fully authorized by the simple mandate, a direct sale can not take place if the buyer has previously discovered the property through one of the real estate agencies in charge of the file. Thus, setting aside the real estate agent in order not to pay his commission is perfectly illegal when you are a signatory of a simple sales mandate.<\/p>\n

Note that the end of the irrevocability period<\/strong> does not authorize you to use this practice. That rule is valid at the end of that period for the following 24 months. The purchaser leaves a trace by signing a visit voucher<\/strong> when he participates in the appointments organized by the real estate company. This document also contains the duration of the prohibition of direct sales. The seller, subject to his sales mandate(s), is then required to inform the agents of the identity of the potential buyer before committing, in order to be surethat it does not appear in their files.<\/p>\n

What should a simple sales mandate contain?<\/h2>\n

The sales mandate is regulated<\/strong> by Article 6 \u00a0of the Hoguet Law<\/a> of 1972 which indicates the information that must appear on this document:<\/p>\n
