What is 代理协议?
房产所有人（委托方）与房地产经纪人之间的书面合同，明确授权范围、佣金比例及独家代理期限。在迪拜，RERA要求所有合法房产委托须签署Form A备案。
Description
An agency agreement formalizes the relationship between a property owner and the real estate broker or agent they hire to sell or lease their property. It specifies the agent's responsibilities, the listing price, the commission structure, the contract duration, and any exclusivity terms. Without a written agency agreement, disputes over commissions and responsibilities are difficult to resolve.
Listing price and any acceptable price range
Commission rate and payment terms
Duration of the agreement (typically 3-12 months)
Exclusivity: whether the listing is exclusive to one agent or open to multiple agents
Marketing obligations and budget
Termination conditions
RERA requires all real estate brokerage relationships to be documented in a formal agency agreement (Form A for selling, which registers the property for sale with DLD). The agency agreement must specify the agreed commission and terms. Exclusive listings are becoming more common but open listings (where multiple agents market the same property) remain prevalent in Dubai. RERA's standard form contracts provide a baseline framework that protects both the owner and the agent.
How to interpret
Before signing a listing agreement, compare the key terms: commission rate, exclusivity period, marketing obligations, and termination rights. An exclusive listing agreement that locks you in for 12 months with no performance benchmarks gives the agent minimal incentive to perform. Negotiate for shorter exclusivity periods (3-6 months) with clear termination rights if performance benchmarks are not met.
For rental properties, the property management agreement is a form of agency agreement that defines the manager's authority, fees, and responsibilities. Read it carefully: many management agreements grant broad authority to sign tenancy contracts, conduct maintenance, and spend up to a certain amount without prior approval. Ensure these thresholds align with your expectations.
迪拜市场背景
RERA's Form A is the mandatory listing agreement for selling property in Dubai. It must be registered with the DLD before the property can be marketed. Form A specifies the agreed sale price, the commission percentage, and the listing period. Without a registered Form A, an agent cannot legally advertise your property on Dubai's main portals (Property Finder, Bayut, Dubizzle), as these platforms require the Form A number for verification.
Open listings (where multiple agents market the same property without exclusivity) are common in Dubai. They create a race among agents to close deals, which sometimes results in price competition that benefits buyers. However, open listings also lead to lower standard marketing, as agents are less willing to invest heavily in advertising a property they may not ultimately sell.
