It is a good thing to know the nuances between the different types of mandates. These are:

1) open mandate: it gives all agents the right to market your property. That means that any agent can contact the owner directly and bring prospective buyers to him.
2) sole or exclusive mandate: bound by a legal document, it grants the agent the sole and exclusive right to market and sell your property. It is up to the sole mandated agent whether other agents are allowed to introduce prospective buyers  and if willing to share, the sole mandated agent remains in control the viewings, the selling and final registration and transfer. Any commission-split must be in writing in the offer to purchase contract.
3) joint mandate: a specified number of agents is assigned the right to market your property.
4) RNS (real estate network service) mandate: this used to be the ILS, still affiliated to the Eastern Cape Institute of Estate Agents. This is a sole mandate with the right given to the assigned RNS agent. The difference is that all agents members of the multilisting service can bring potential buyers. The commission split is determined. This type of mandate gives a wide exposure to your property but it is controlled by one agent.

Why a written contract between you and the Agent is so important…., apart from the fact that it is required from a legal point of view for the agent to operate with such contract. This is valid whether it is a sole, exclusive or open mandate.

The contract stipulates the selling price, mandate period, marketing plan, and special conditions of the sale. These conditions can be fittings that are not included in the sale, repairs that need to be done prior to the transfer etc…..

The traditional 10% rental escalation rate can trap your tenant into an unaffordable rental after 2 or 3 years. By keeping the escalation rate at CPI or as close as possible to CPI, you will enable your tenant to absorb the overal increase in living costs together with that of your annual rental.
An escalation rate higher than CPI, and most definitely one of 10% can drive a good tenant away after 2 to 3 years, as he/she (the tenant) will naturally be searching for a lower and more affordable rental. We recommend at Azur Real Estate an escalation rate equal or as close as possible to CPI, currently at 6.1%.
