Real Estate Brokerage Lawyer Frankfurt | KMA LAW

KMA LAW advises and represents estate agents, buyers and sellers in brokerage law.

Advice for agents, buyers and sellers

We represent estate agents, buyers, sellers and other parties in legal matters concerning the brokerage of property. Common issues include the formation and interpretation of brokerage contracts, the services actually provided and disputes over commissions. We review contracts, brochures, messages and the circumstances surrounding the transaction. Our aim is to provide a reliable assessment of potential claims and defences.

Brokerage agreements and contract drafting

Whether a brokerage agreement was concluded and what its terms mean may be disputed. We review commission arrangements, contractual clauses, the services agreed and relevant issues in the brokerage of residential property. We also assist with drafting and revising agreements so that the rights and duties of the parties are clearly documented and future conflicts are less likely.

Introduction, negotiation and causation

A central question is often whether the agent’s work actually contributed to the conclusion of the main contract. We examine which introduction or negotiation services were performed, what information the parties already possessed and the role of the agent during negotiations. The communications between agents, prospective buyers and contracting parties are often particularly important. The assessment depends on the specific facts of each case.

Commission: entitlement, amount and due date

We assess whether the requirements for a commission claim have been met, what remuneration was agreed and whether the demanded amount is justified. This includes reviewing invoices, commission clauses and the conditions for payment. We advise on enforcing legitimate claims and on defending claims disputed in principle or amount.

Resolving commission disputes

Not every dispute over an estate agent’s commission needs to go straight to court. We first assess the documentation and possible routes to an agreed solution. If litigation becomes necessary, we act for clients seeking payment and for those defending a claim. We consider both the legal position and the practical costs and risks of proceedings.
