The company tasked him with buying land for it and paying a commission on the purchase; does he share the commission with the broker?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: I work for a company, and the management tasked me with buying land for them through real estate agencies. Several pieces of land have been purchased, and the commission has been paid to the real estate agencies. My question is: I searched for one of the lands myself and agreed with the owner to buy it. There were meetings and communications between us until the sale was completed. Do I have the right to take the commission?
A: It is permissible for the agent to share in the commission on the purchase if the buying company that the questioner represents has authorized him to do so. However, if the company that appointed him as agent is unaware of this, it is not permissible; because this may lead to a lack of sincere advice in determining the price, whether the commission is paid by the seller or by the buyer.
