NDAs and property transactions. PLEASE READ Learn this quick or risk losing your fee... NDAs stops the investor talking about your deal. It does not stop them acting on it. NDA's are not applicable in case law in relation to property transactions. And 'sourcers' have no clue. Why? Because they're only as knowledgeable as their mentor. I'll say it again: An NDA stops the investor talking about your investment... It does not stop them acting on it. What is needed is a Non-Circumvention clause — either standalone or within a Terms of Business Agreement. That is what prevents an investor from going directly to the agent or vendor and bypassing you. Without it there is nothing to enforce regardless of what was signed. 📝 Terms of Business secures the relationship.and the roles and responsibilities. 📝 Non-Circumvention protects you from being bypassed. 📝 NDA protects confidential information. Three different tools. Three different purposes. The solution? 📝 One Terms of Business that contains non disclose and non-circumenvention and all details, fees, responsibilities, terminations - everything. "Mate, what the f**k is this 26 page document? Just show me the deal and I'll think about paying you." "Sign it or kindly f**k off. It's not my fault you haven't worked with professionals before." Investor - work with professionals and be prepared to sign paperwork. Sourcer - learn this or lose. Join NAPSA: National Association of Professional Sourcing Agents which will educate you in transparency, compliance and professionalism. Don't work with a 'sourcer' who sends you an NDA and thinks that protects them. Work with a Partner whose Terms of Business covers every scenario before the relationship begins.
