is considered Deposit<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>A type of financial arrangement that binds the parties involved in real estate transactions, reinforces the buyer\u2019s or tenant\u2019s commitment to completing the transaction, and safeguards the rights of all parties; The General Real Estate Authority has established regulations governing the amount of the deposit and its distribution in sales and lease transactions conducted through real estate brokers.<\/p>\n

1-<\/strong> Determining the Amount of the Deposit<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

According to the Real Estate Brokerage Law and its implementing regulations, the amount of the deposit for real estate transactions conducted through a real estate broker is determined by agreement between the parties involved. The amount of the deposit must not exceed (5%) of the transaction value. If the amount exceeds this percentage, it is considered an advance payment rather than a deposit.<\/p>\n

2. Terms and Conditions for the Deposit<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Any amount paid by the buyer or tenant is not considered a deposit unless expressly stated in the contract. If this is not specified in writing, the amount is considered an advance payment toward the purchase price, which the seller or landlord is not entitled to recover if the contract is terminated.<\/p>\n

3. Refund of the Deposit<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The seller or lessor must complete the transaction after receiving the deposit. If the transaction cannot be completed due to the buyer or tenant, and there is no defect in the property, the deposit is not refunded. However, if the reason for the failure of the transaction is not attributable to either party, the deposit must be refunded to the person who paid it.<\/p>\n

4<\/strong>\u2013 Rights of Real Estate Brokers<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

It is important for everyone to know that a real estate broker is not permitted to retain the deposit as security for his rights in the transaction. If the deposit is due to the seller or landlord without the real estate transaction being completed, the real estate broker is entitled to receive a commission equal to (25%) of the deposit amount, unless otherwise agreed upon in the real estate brokerage contract.<\/p>\n

These provisions represent an important step toward regulating real estate brokerage and safeguarding the rights of all parties involved. Through these regulations, transparency can be enhanced, and a safer and more reliable real estate environment can be provided.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
