The Importance of the Real Estate “Bon de Visite” in Morocco
The bon de visite is a crucial document in real estate transactions. It serves as a written proof that a real estate agent has introduced a property to a potential buyer.
👉 Unlike a sales mandate, the bon de visite does not bind the buyer to purchase, but it protects the agent from disputes, especially when multiple professionals are involved in marketing the same property.
📑 Why is the bon de visite important?
Proves that the buyer discovered the property through the agent.
Prevents conflicts between agencies (simple vs. exclusive mandate).
Keeps property owners informed about the sales process.
Provides legal protection for the real estate agent.
The document is usually signed by the buyer after a visit, in paper or electronic format, with a copy kept by both parties.
❓ Is it mandatory to sign?
A real estate agent cannot force a buyer to sign a bon de visite. However, the agent has the right to refuse the visit if the buyer declines to sign, provided this condition is included in the sales mandate.
✅ Conclusion
The bon de visite is more than an administrative formality — it is a strategic tool that secures agents, reassures property owners, and structures the buyer-agent relationship.
