What is a Real Estate Consulting Agreement?
A real estate consulting agreement is a contract between two real estate parties where one party agrees to provide services and the other party agrees to pay. The payment amount will depend on the nature of the service and who requested it.
A consultant can be hired by an individual or business owner looking for advice in areas, including leasing property or selling goods overseas. If a party considers hiring someone as a real estate consultant, they must establish a well-written agreement before signing anything.
