1. REPRESENTATION:The Buyer acknowledges that the Brokerage has provided the Buyer with written information explaining agency relationships, including information on Seller Representation, Sub-Agency, Buyer Representation, Multiple Representation and Customer Service. The Brokerage shall assist the Buyer in locating a real property of the general description indicated above and shall represent the Buyer in an endeavour to procure the acceptance of an agreement to purchase or lease such a property.

위 내용은 이해하기 쉽게 요약하겠습니다. 우선 중계인은 Buyer에게 중계인들의 대리인 역활(Representation)에 대해 서면상으로 반드시 설명해야 합니다, ‘Working with a Realtor’란 서류가 그 중 하나입니다. 매도인(Seller’s)측 중계인, 매입자(Buyer’s)측 중계인, 매입자측과 매도자측의 입장을 모두 대신할경우의 중계인(Multiple)의 역활에 대해 Buyer에게 설명을 해야합니다. 그리고 아주 드문 경우로 매입자측에서 중계인과 정식 중계인계약을 체결하지 않고 고객(Client)이 아닌 단순한 손님(Customer)의 관계로 중계인을 고용한다면(Customer Service 상황) 이 중계인은 매도자 중계인의 하부 중계인(Sub-agency)으로 활동할 수 있습니다. 이 경우 매입자측 일을 도와 주지만 실질적으로나 법적으로는 매도자측 중계인입니다. 이러한 부분까지도 원칙적으로 Buyer에게 중개인은 알려주어야 합니다.

Buyer측 중개인은 이 계약서에 명시한 형태의 부동산을 찾기 위해 Buyer를 도와야 하며 그 부동산의 매입또는 임대 계약을 진행하는데 있어 성심껏 Buyer의 대리인 역할을 수행해야 합니다.

The Buyer acknowledges that the Buyer may not be shown or offered all properties that may be of interest to the Buyer. The Buyer hereby agrees that the terms of any buyer’s offer or agreement to purchase or lease the property will not be disclosed to any other buyer. The Buyer further acknowledges that the Brokerage may be entering into buyer representation agreements with other buyers who may be interested in the same or similar properties that the Buyer may be interested in buying or leasing and the Buyer hereby consents to the Brokerage entering into buyer representation agreements with other buyers who may be interested in the same or similar properties without any claim by the Buyer of conflict of interest. The Buyer hereby appoints the Brokerage as agent for the purpose of giving and receiving notices pursuant to any offer or agreement to purchase or lease a property negotiated by the Brokerage.

이 부분은 이 대리인 계약을 하는 중개인 이나 그가 속한 부동산 중개 회사가 이 대리인 계약을 채결하는 Buyer와 같거나 비슷한 부동산을 찾는 다른 Buyer들 과도 대리인 계약(Buyer’s representation agreement)을 체결 할 수 있음을 명시하고 있습니다. 또한 Buyer는 중개인과 그가 속한 회사(Brokerage)가 협상한 오퍼나 계약을 진행함에 있어 어떠한 통보를 주고 받는 목적으로 이 중개인회사를 대리인으로 지정한다고 되어있습니다. 즉 협상을 진행하는데 있어 중개인과 그가 속한 회사가Buyer의 의사를 상대편에 전달하고 또 받는 역할을 감당할 수 있는 권한을 부여한다는 것입니다.

MULTIPLE REPRESENTATION: The Buyer hereby acknowledges that the Brokerage may be entering into listing agreements with sellers of properties the Buyer may be interested in buying or leasing. In the event that the Brokerage has entered into or enters into a listing agreement with the seller of a property the Buyer may be interested in buying or leasing, the Brokerage will obtain the Buyer’s written consent to represent both the Buyer and the seller for the transaction at the earliest practicable opportunity and in all cases prior to any offer to purchase or lease being submitted or presented.

양자 대리인 관계: Buyer는 자신의 대리 중계인회사가 자신이 매입이나 임대에 관심을 가질 수 있는 부동산의 매도인과 Listing 계약을 체결할 수도 있음을 인지한다. Buyer의 부동산회사가 이 Buyer가 매입 또는임대 할 가능성이 있는 부동사의 매도자와 Listing 계약을 체결했거나 할 경우에는, 어떠한 경우든지 오퍼가 전달되기 전에 그리고 최대한 빠른 시간내에 매입자 와 매도자에게 이 부동산거래에서 양측 모두에게대리인 자격으로 일한다는 것을 서면으로 동의를 얻어야 합니다. 이러한 목적의 서류가 오퍼를 작성 할 때 꼭 빠지지 않는 ‘Confirmation of Cooperation and Representation’이란 서류입니다.
