Types of Property Sales Mandates Explained

Open Mandate

Multiple agents, inconsistent marketing messages, each agent works in the interest of different buyers.

Dual Mandate

Two agents/agencies, balanced exclusivity and reach.

Sole Mandate

One agent, owner flexibility in selling privately.

Sole & Exclusive Mandate

Complete agent focus, no private sales by the owner, agent takes on the responsibility to gatekeep on behalf of the seller. One agent works in the interest of the seller and filters all external agents and buyers to achieve the best possible result for the seller.

Why Not Sell Your Own Property?

Selling on your own introduces emotional biases and hinders objectivity. A professional agent brings expertise, strategy, and negotiation skills to secure the best deal.
