Documents to Bring for broker commission and procuring cause Review

By Josef Timlichman, Attorney

Published · Last updated

Short answer

A closing without you leaves questions about the agreement, your work and the payment. Start with the full transaction history, not just the first introduction.

Start with the agreement and the timeline

Save a complete copy of the agreement, including attachments and amendments. Write down the main dates. If you do not know a date, mark it as uncertain.

  • Listing and buyer-broker agreements
  • Introduction, showing and offer history
  • Closing records and commission calculations

Explain what changed

Who did you introduce, what happened next and when did you learn the deal closed?

Keep messages in their original form. Include records that contradict your account. A complete file helps us give useful advice.

Do these documents prove a legal claim?

We can discuss the records you have before you collect everything. Do not wait for a perfect file to ask for a meeting.

Frequently asked questions

Can I arrange a review before all documents are available?

Yes. Bring what you have and identify the missing items.

How can I arrange a meeting?

Meetings by appointment only.
