Agents and Agency Agreements
Agency agreements are legally binding contracts. To ensure consumers are informed about their rights and responsibilities under each type of agency agreements, real estate agents must provide consumers with a copy of the Office of Fair Trading fact sheet Agency agreements. The fact sheet must be given to consumers before they sign an agreement with the agent.for defining your ideal home!

Cooling-off Period
The agency agreement becomes binding when the principal (that is, you as the owner/s of the property, or someone who is legally acting for you) and the agent have signed it. There is then a cooling-off period of one business day during which you can cancel (or 'rescind') the agreement. Saturday is included for the purposes of the cooling-off period, but public holidays are not.

The Sale Process
A residential property cannot be advertised for sale until a Contract of Sale has been prepared. The contract must contain a copy of the title documents, drainage diagram and the Zoning Certificate (s 149) issued by the local council. Property exclusions must also be included and a statement of the buyer’s cooling off rights must be attached. The draft contract must be available for inspection at the agent’s office. It is important that you consult your solicitor or conveyancer about preparing the contract to make sure that everything is in order.
