If I am representing a client I use forms provided through MLS (NWMLS/CBA in WA) otherwise, I will just create my own on microsoft word and PDF it.

I would imagine there is much I don't know about it in Australia too.As far as my experience shows you must have a licence to act as a real estate agent or a real estate sales representative. http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/sa/consol_act/laa1994108/s6a.htmlThis is also helpful.http://www.cbs.sa.gov.au/wcm/licensing-and-registration/occupational-licensing-and-registration/how-to-apply-for-a-licence/electronic-licence-application-forms/But it does point to the fact that you need qualifications.Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.Alison

Two Realtors representing other parties that I have worked deals with over the past 12 months have started threatening legal action when they don't get what they want even though they don't know the law or what the hell the are talking about.

Granted the lawyer did claim to represent both the President and the Association, but we have had a motion to disqualify that firm due to what we feel is a clear conflict of interest since last September.

The seller will still owe a commission if they were the procuring cause of the sale, so use them and stay out of trouble.Not his residence, then the SAFE Act and Dodd-Frank most likely apply, you need to see a mortgage originator.Your best bet is to lease it, put it under contract with a finance contingency with the agent (you need to have an agent, I suggest you be represented and the listing agent doesn't represent you) and go conventional with your friend if you need to.

I don't know yet but let me find out" would've been better.All I can tell you is if any of our policies had steep increases like that, and some have, we'd get a call from the agent AND our representative at the home office before the bill went out.
