The Real Estate Independent Contractor Agreement is essential for real estate businesses operating in the Philippines who engage independent real estate professionals rather than employees. This document is specifically designed to comply with Philippine regulations, particularly the Real Estate Service Act (RESA Law) and related PRC requirements, while clearly establishing an independent contractor relationship. It's typically used when engaging licensed real estate brokers, salespersons, or consultants who will operate with significant autonomy while representing the company. The agreement covers crucial aspects such as commission structures, service scope, regulatory compliance, professional obligations, and operational procedures, all within the context of Philippine real estate practice and law. This document is particularly important for maintaining clear professional relationships and ensuring compliance with both real estate regulations and independent contractor laws in the Philippines.
