A business owner contacts a firm to list a property. The business owner contacts another firm to help
find a new home and a third firm to help find storefronts in strip malls. Can the business owner use
three different firms for these transactions? How can the business owner draft the three agency
agreements so it is clear which firm is responsible for which transaction? ✔✔The business owner can
hire a separate firm for each transaction. To list a property, the business owner and the firm execute a
listing contract. To hire a buyer's firm to look for different properties, the business owner would tailor
each buyer agency agreement to limit the properties for which each firm would earn a commission. For
example, the buyer agency agreement that the business owner used to hire the firm to look for a home
would exclude all non-residential properties. The buyer agency agreement the business owner used to
hire the firm to look for storefronts would exclude all non-commercial properties. There are different
ways a buyer and a firm can draft a buyer agency agreement to limit the agreement to certain
properties or types of property.
