Contractor/Consultant Agreement (General)

Engaging consultants and contractors can be a flexible and cost-effective way to grow your real estate agency, but without the right agreement in place, unclear expectations and responsibilities can expose your business to unnecessary risk.

Our Consultant / Contractor Agreement template is designed specifically for real estate agencies engaging general contractors or consultants where a real estate licence is not required. It clearly sets out the scope of services, responsibilities, payment arrangements, confidentiality obligations and other key terms, helping to protect your agency and establish clear expectations from the outset.

Drafted by Australian lawyers and written in plain English, this editable template includes an instructional video to guide you through completing the document and can be customised to suit your agency’s circumstances.
