However, we pride ourselves on investing a lot of time and effort in processing all the instructions of the sole proprietorship, and so this service is offered with the clear understanding that the seller is not actively trying to sell the property in open competition with us. If the property is not sold or subsequently withdrawn from the market, no commission is paid – only any concrete expense that would have been agreed at the beginning. It follows that when the seller himself presents the buyer and negotiates the sale directly with the buyer, the real estate agent is not entitled to his fees, unless the contract expressly provides for it – see below under the exclusive right of sale. Thank you for your request. We have designed SSR contracts and we are happy to help you. Please contact me at jack.pestill@roydswithyking.com and we can provide you with more information about an offer. Thank you very much…
