Procuring cause disputes are a common problem in real estate. Understanding how procuring cause works, whether you work with clients directly or with an agent, can help you avoid conflicts and ensure that you get the commission you have earned.
Procuring Cause
The facts and circumstances of each case determine the determination of procuring causes. These factors are taken into consideration by the panel members, who then apply them to determine procuring cause.
Was there a direct, proximate connection between the broker's introduction of the property?
A broker may not be entitled for a commission, unless he can prove that the property was bought and sold directly. This is called the procuring theory.
Is it legal for the broker to offer the property?
A broker must be legally bound to sell the property in most states to receive a commission. Some states have exceptions. A broker may still be eligible to a commission even though the seller did not enter into a contractual agreement with the agent.
Is the broker allowed to bring the property in question to the attention of the buyer?
Procuring Cause Analysis must be fact-sensitive. Panel members are required to look at all the relevant factors. Among these factors are whether the broker made a proposal on which the sale was based, and whether the broker satisfied any prerequisites of the buyers.
Do you have an ongoing relationship?
It is a common mistake for brokers to believe that the commission should be awarded to them because they have an ongoing relationship with the client. This is a mistake because the broker representing the client must be different.
Did the buyer divulge to the seller that a certain broker had brought him to the transaction?
Keep in mind that many states have laws that prohibit brokers from disclosing to buyers the fact that they brought someone else into the transaction. It is possible for the parties to agree not to disclose that a brokerage was involved. However, this is temporary and will not be enforced after the transaction closes.
Do they have a buyer-broker contract with the agent who showed them this property?
A major decision is making the purchase of a property. You need an experienced and qualified agent to help you with the entire process. You should make sure you are comfortable working with your agent if you have never negotiated.
