What makes real estate contracts different
BizDraft covers the business relationships around real estate — referral fee agreements, marketing services for listings, co-brokerage arrangements, and agent-team agreements. Full property transaction documents (purchase agreements, listing agreements) are outside this scope and should be handled through your brokerage's forms.
Referral fee as a percentage of gross commission. Triggering event (closed transaction or signed contract). Exclusivity window. Co-brokerage commission split. Marketing services scope and liability disclaimer. Agent independent contractor terms.
Referral fee agreement between agents, marketing services for listings (photography, staging, paid ads), co-brokerage arrangement, agent-team agreement, and broker-IC relationship.
BizDraft asks about the type of arrangement (referral, marketing, co-brokerage), the triggering event, fee structure, exclusivity window, and state where the property or business is located.

The real estate risk map
The receiving agent closes the deal and doesn't pay the referral fee. Fix: referral fee agreement with triggering event, payment timeline, and dispute resolution clause.
You refer a client; the receiving agent keeps them for future transactions without paying a fee. Fix: exclusivity window and multi-transaction fee clause covering related future business.
You pay for listing photography and the seller withdraws the listing. Fix: cancellation terms in the marketing services agreement — services rendered are due even if listing withdraws.
A buyer's agent leaves the team and takes active client relationships. Fix: client ownership clause defining who retains the relationship with active clients at the time of departure.
Co-brokerage commission is unclear when the deal closes. Fix: explicit commission split agreement with gross commission as the basis and payment timing at closing.
