The Non-Exclusive Buyer Agency Agreement is utilized in the Swiss real estate market when a property buyer wishes to engage a real estate agent's services while maintaining the flexibility to work with other agents. This document is essential in the Swiss context, where real estate transactions are governed by strict regulations and professional standards. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions for property search services, viewing arrangements, negotiation support, and transaction assistance, all while complying with Swiss federal and cantonal laws. It's particularly valuable in competitive real estate markets where buyers benefit from multiple agent relationships, while still ensuring clear terms for commission and service expectations. The agreement incorporates necessary provisions from the Swiss Code of Obligations regarding mandate relationships and includes specific considerations for anti-money laundering compliance and, where relevant, Lex Koller requirements for foreign buyers.
