Agent training and internal checklists
Practical training for agent teams: what agents may explain to clients and where legal services begin, reservation agreements and fees, title deed encumbrances, purchase price escrow and typical transaction traps. We train using your agency's real transactions, and the team leaves with checklists ready for the next case.
- Training from real transactions, not textbooks
- Checklists your team can use immediately
- Prices agreed in advance
What we'll do for you
We set the scope according to team size and transaction types. Training is based on your practice, rather than generic presentations.

-
Initial transaction review
We discuss typical transactions and problem areas — failed reservations, complaints and returned filings — and build the training around them.
-
Tailored training
What agents may and may not do: the boundary of unauthorised legal services, reservation agreements and fees, encumbrances and reading title deeds, purchase price escrow and common transaction traps. At your office or online, using real cases.
-
Internal templates and checklists
Practical agent checklists, from taking on a property through checking the title deed to handing the transaction to a lawyer. Procedures in writing, rather than in individuals' heads.
-
Legislative developments
We incorporate changes affecting estate agency practice into checklists and clearly explain their implications for agents' daily work.

What may an agent explain to clients themselves?
An agent may guide clients through a transaction and explain the usual process, but drafting agreements and legally assessing a specific situation are a lawyer's role — otherwise the agency risks liability for unauthorised legal services. Training illustrates that boundary with practical examples so agents know when to answer and when to say 'our lawyer will check this'.
How is training delivered, and how long does it take?
As agreed: at your office or online, in a single session or a series of shorter meetings. We use case studies of real transactions, ideally from your own practice. After the initial consultation, we propose a scope based on team size and your most pressing topics.
We also need telephone access to a lawyer for ongoing transactions. Is that possible?
Yes, through another service: the legal hotline is part of the Estate agency retainer. That is the appropriate setting for ongoing availability rather than one-off training. Both can be combined in one arrangement, and higher retainer packages include training.
We are a small agency with a few agents — is this worthwhile?
Yes, we scale the scope. A smaller team may need shorter training focused on common situations and basic checklists. A single failed transaction or complaint hurts most in a small agency.
How much do training and support cost?
The price depends on team size, training scope and whether you want ongoing checklist maintenance. You receive a proposal with a specific price after the initial consultation — and we honour what we agree in advance.
Legal Q&A
Common questions on this topic
-
What must an estate agency agreement contain?
Under an estate agency agreement, the agency undertakes activities aimed at concluding a property agreement, and the client undertakes to pay commission. The agreement should clearly define its scope, commission amount and payment date, duration, any exclusivity, and the agent’s duties. Where the client is a consumer, additional protection applies, including a ban on unfair terms.

When does a real estate agency become entitled to commission?
It depends on the brokerage agreement. Under the Commercial Code, commission generally becomes due as an entitlement when the brokered agreement is concluded. If commission is tied only to securing an opportunity to enter into an agreement, entitlement arises once that opportunity is secured. For a consumer client, remuneration is payable only if the result was achieved through the broker’s efforts.

Does a real estate agency have anti-money laundering (AML) obligations?
Yes. A real estate agency is an obliged entity under the Act on Protection against the Legalisation of Proceeds of Crime. It must identify and verify clients, perform risk-based due diligence, have an internal AML programme and report unusual business transactions to the Financial Intelligence Unit. Failure to comply can lead to substantial penalties.

An estate agency’s AML programme: what it must contain and how to tie agent training to it
An estate agency is an obliged entity under the AML Act, and its own-activity programme cannot be a generic template pulled from a drawer. We explain what the programme must contain, how to work into it the unusual transactions typical of property dealing, why and how often to train agents including those working under a trade licence, and what is at stake on inspection.

What to check before taking on a property: the check the agent carries out, and the moment it must be handed to a lawyer
A property transaction can collapse over an obstacle that was on the title deed from the outset. For estate agencies and their agents we explain why checking a property before it goes into the portfolio is the agency’s duty, what must be checked straight away, what the title deed does not show, and when the matter becomes a legal check belonging to a lawyer.

The lawyer in a transaction brokered by an estate agency: whom do they work for and what follows from that
The agent recommends a lawyer who prepares the contracts for both seller and buyer, and the agency pays them a retainer. Whose interests does the lawyer then protect, what may they tell the agent, and what happens if the parties fall out? We explain what the Act on Advocacy says and how to set the arrangement up so that everyone can trust it.
