It outlines the broker's authorization to sell at a specific price, the commission rate (set at 2%), and the timeline for completing the transaction and executing the conveyance deed.
About this template
What is this template?
This is a brokerage mandate specifically for the sale of real estate in India. It contains a specific 2% commission clause and a one-month performance window for the broker. It is not an exclusive listing agreement or a final sale deed between a buyer and seller.
When should you use it?
Use this when you are hiring a professional to find a buyer for a house and want to fix the commission rate and time limit. Use a Sale Deed instead if you have already found the buyer and are ready to transfer title.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
