The Buyer's Representative Agreement is a crucial document used in Belgian real estate transactions when a buyer seeks professional representation in their property search and acquisition process. This agreement is particularly important in Belgium's complex real estate market, where professional representation must comply with strict regulatory requirements, including those set by the Professional Institute of Real Estate Agents (BIV/IPI). The document is used to formally establish the scope of the representative's authority, outline their responsibilities, and define the terms of compensation. It includes essential provisions required by Belgian law, such as consumer protection measures, GDPR compliance, and anti-money laundering obligations. The agreement is typically used at the beginning of the property search process and remains valid until either a successful purchase is completed or the agreement is terminated according to its terms.
