Hello everyone,
we are actually looking for a plot of land and want to build ourselves, but now a nice house in a good location has come up that we want to take a look at.
The catch: the agent asked us to sign the agency contract *before* the house viewing. Allegedly, a payment of the commission is only due if we decide firmly on the house. I am still worried that there could be hidden costs. Here is the text verbatim:
"I accept the offer to conclude the agency contract with the prospective buyer. By my declaration of acceptance, the agency contract between me and (FIRMA) comes into existence.
I agree to this and expressly demand that (FIRMA) begin the agency activity before the end of the withdrawal period. I am aware that I will lose my right of withdrawal if (FIRMA) fully performs the contract."
Sign or stay away?
