The Real Estate Agent - Franklin Díaz Lárez
THE ESTATE AGENT. CONCEPT AND GENERALITIES.
The estate agent is a person, natural or juridical, that operates in his own name or representation of others, mediating between people who wish to make a juridical business with a real estate.
It is necessary to establish some precisions regarding this concept.
In the first place, it is important to clear out that when we consider a person natural
or juridical
we mean that it can be a person, such as a human being, or an enterprise. Both are persons
from the legal point of view, and as a consequence, they are holders of rights and obligations. The first of them are considered natural persons
, and the second are juridical persons
.
In the second place, the expression in his own name o representing others
means that the operation can be done by the agent by himself, or as an emissary or agent of other person.
When we say that the agent acts in his own name
, we refer that he operates on his behalf, that is to say, without representing anybody but himself, like an individual. On the contrary, when we say that the agent operates in representation of other, in this case his operations are made on behalf of a third person, natural or juridical.
It seems simple at first sight, but it is important to establish the difference due to the determination of the people who are, or will be, subjected to obligations with the intermediation of the state. When the state acts in his own name, it is obvious that he contracts obligation individually, but, when he does on other people behalf (people or enterprise) the other people are forced to meet their obligations, not him.
Let’s explain this point a bit more.
An obligation is a juridical legal bond that joins one person to another. The tenant of an apartment is bound with the leaseholder to pay him the rental fees, to comply with the stipulations of the neighborhood, to keep up with the services which has assumed to pay, and not to deteriorate the property that he has been trusted for its use. These are examples of obligations.
Another example of obligation would be the case in which the property purchaser that asks the Bank for a loan to pay for it. He will be obliged with the bank, during the period stipulated by contract, to pay, in time and form, the amount according to the capital charge-off plus interests.
An example of an incurred obligation by The Real Estate Agent would be when he agrees with the property owner to look for a purchaser or leaseholder according to the previous established conditions.
The breach of this obligation would take place when the owner could demand responsibilities to The Real Estate Agent. Let’s suppose that an owner trusts his property to a state agent through a contract, with the requirement that he could rent it only to a couple without children or pets, but The Real Estate Agent leaves that requirement aside and rents it to a numerous family, with four children, two grandparents, an uncle and aunt, dogs, cats and parrots, and even more, they leave the property deteriorated when moving at the end of the contract.
Independently of the tenant’s responsibility with the property owner, here comes a responsibility on the part of The Real Estate Agent. He could be demanded by the owner for contract breach, and he will have to face the consequences and damages derived from his own misbehavior. The breach of his obligation caused damage, and to the law Anyone who causes damage to another person is forced to repair it
. This is a universal principle of Law.
If in this concrete case, The Real Estate Agent acts in his own name, he will have to assume personally the consequences of his own acts. Furthermore, if The Real Estate Agent acts in name of a third person, that person will have to assume the responsibility of the obligation breach.
Let’s clear now the meaning of juridical business
That concept means a pact or agreement made between two or more parts, whose purpose is to produce consequences and legal effects.
Any person that would not be affected by legal limitations can make pacts or agreements to produce juridical effects, in other words; they can contract. Examples of limited people to sign contracts are children and mental disables, among others.
A contract is an agreement between two parts to produce legal consequences. It is a way of creating laws, if you take verbatim, that is to say: contract is law between the parts
. The contractors must respect the contract in the same way they respect the rest of law. The clauses, or parts of a contract, are juridical norms of forced breach to those intervenient people. As long as such clauses do not contradict what is arranged in the valid juridical ordeal. For example, a leasing contract would not be valid if it is stipulated that the hired house has to be exclusively used for selling drugs, prostitution, or any other activity forbidden by law.
Finally, and it is also very important, to clear out what it must be understood by a real state
.
Firstly we must define what they are. What is a good of property
?
A good of property
is an object or something that has utility, and it is susceptible of being economically valued. This is the conception.
There are many classifications of properties. The one we are interested in is the classification that splits them into movable
and immovable
properties.
What are the immovable properties?
A simple notion tells us that they are the ones that cannot be moved from one place to another without losing its essence, or substance.
You cannot take a house from one place to another without destroying it (unless it is a van, of course). You cannot move the land. You could not take an apartment from one building and put it into another.
The immovable properties are also called real state
, because they are adhered to the soil, tied to the floor with a root, like trees.
And … What are the movable properties?
On the contrary, movable properties are the ones that can be translated from place to place without losing their essence.
A television set is still a television set even though you take it from the store to your house, unless it falls and breaks on your way home.
So, which are the immovable properties and which are the movable ones?
The immovable
properties are houses, buildings, apartments, land and farms. On the contrary the movable
ones are furniture (sofa, armchairs, and chairs), the home appliances (televisions, irons, radios, computers, etc.), beds, dining rooms, bookshelves, etc.
Vehicles, such as cars, auto motors and ships of all classes (ship, yacht, motorboats, etc) are also considered movable properties including spaceships (planes, rockets, etc.). These are different from the rest of movable properties because of their expensive economical value. For that reason they have an exclusive and special registration regime (Automotive Registry for the vehicles; Ships and Aircraft Registry for airplanes; Merchant Marine Registry for the Ships, etc.) It is said that they are a kind of Movable properties that are used to being registered
.
There are also special kinds of movable properties that are considered immovable by the law due to
