Signing an intermediation mandate with a real estate broker does not entail any immediate costs. You will only be financially committed if the broker succeeds in obtaining a loan offer that you accept and sign. The brokerage fee is then included in the financial package for your loan. However, if you have engaged a broker and his or her work has led to a lowering of your bank’s loan conditions, the broker’s fees are legitimate. This second task is governed by the“advisory mandate“. Indeed, it’s thanks to his efforts and expertise that you’ve been able to benefit from these improvements.
