AU Australia property term
Sole Agency Agreement
Western Australia
Plain-English definition
An agency agreement appointing one real estate agent to sell the property while potentially preserving a seller's right to find a buyer privately, depending on the written terms.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
Do not assume a private sale is commission-free. The agreement must show when commission is payable and whether the seller's own buyer is excluded.
