Real estate agents are obliged to provide information, e.g. on defects, taxes, ancillary purchase costs or the energy certificate.

How high can the broker’s commission be?
What applies if no agreement has been made?
When is a commission agreement legally invalid?
What are the respective legal consequences?
When can the commission be reclaimed?
When does the broker still have a commission claim despite unsuccessful brokerage?
At what point may the commission be charged?
When does the commission entitlement expire?
As an estate agent, when do I have to pay back the commission?

Brokerage and real estate law usually involves large investments. Everyone wants to protect themselves and avoid expensive follow-up costs.

Whether it’s a brokerage contract, fixing the commission or sellers concealing defects in the property: specialized lawyers take care to avoid legal difficulties and represent the interests of their clients.
One example of this is when estate agents have a family relationship with the seller or tenant and conceal this from their clients. In this case, the estate agent’s clients may be able to demand repayment of the commission. This commission claim is both proven by the lawyer and claimed in court.
If you are an estate agent yourself, we will support you with comprehensive advice on your rights and obligations so that you are covered when it comes to estate agent commission and the like.
