property manager indemnification clause
I am reviewing a standard CAR (Calif Association of Realtors) contract given me by a potential property manager for management my fourplex. The indemnification clause seems to indemnify him very broadly for any actions and does not seem to make exception for Broker's negligence ...is this standard, or am I not understanding it correctly? Thank you for any explanation or advice as to how it should be drafted. It reads: "Owner Responsibilities. Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless broker, and all person's in broker's firm, regardless of responsibility, from all costs, expenses,suits, liabilities, damages, attorney fees and claims of every type, including but not limited to those arising out of injury or death of any person, or damage to any real or personal property of any person, including Owner, for (i) any repairs performed by Owner or by others hired directly by owner; or (ii) those relating to the management, leasing, rental, security deposits, or operation of the Property by Broker, or any person in Broker's firm, or the performance or exercise of any of the duties, powers, or authorities granted to Broker.
