Appointment to Act
Western Australia
Plain-English definition
A written agreement authorising a WA real estate agent to act for a client and recording the services, fees and expenses agreed.

The appointment determines who the agent represents and when payment may be due. Sellers and buyers appointing their own agent should read exclusivity, termination and commission clauses before signing.
