An Exclusive Sole Mandate is a legally binding agreement between a property owner (seller) and a real estate agent or agency, granting the agent exclusive rights to market and sell the property for a specified period. 

This means that no other agent—or even the owner—can sell the property during the mandate period.

Key Features of an Exclusive Sole Mandate:

Exclusive Rights: Only the appointed agent can facilitate the sale. Fixed Duration: Typically runs for a set period (e.g., 3 to 6 months). 

Defined Responsibilities

The agent must actively market the property through various channels. 

Commission Guarantee: The agent earns a commission if the property sells within the mandate period, even if the owner or another party finds the buyer.
