Comments on: can a realestate agent sign a lease on my behalf. Is it a Valid contract if only she signed it and not me? http://www.majazer.net/realestate-agent/can-a-realestate-agent-sign-a-lease-on-my-behalf-is-it-a-valid-contract-if-only-she-signed-it-and-not-me Mon, 19 Dec 2011 13:18:59 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Nightrider http://www.majazer.net/realestate-agent/can-a-realestate-agent-sign-a-lease-on-my-behalf-is-it-a-valid-contract-if-only-she-signed-it-and-not-me/comment-page-1#comment-1168 Nightrider Sat, 26 Dec 2009 17:22:59 +0000 http://www.majazer.net/realestate-agent/can-a-realestate-agent-sign-a-lease-on-my-behalf-is-it-a-valid-contract-if-only-she-signed-it-and-not-me#comment-1168 Technically, you would have had to sign a power of attorney for the real estate agent to sign for you. Sending an email would not qualify legally. With that said, as long as you do want the property, whenever you return, you can sign the papers yourself and keep the deal. The real estate agent's signature would be enough to hold the deal until you are back. If you are trying to back out of the deal, you have a legal issue without the POA, but on the other hand, your agent has your email stating you told her to sign in your behalf. Now it becomes an issue for the court with her agent's fees involved. Best of luck and I hope this is useful to you<br><b>References : </b><br> Technically, you would have had to sign a power of attorney for the real estate agent to sign for you.

Is your name on the lease or is the real estate agents. If it is your name and the real estate agent signed your name then that is forgery. If it is the real estate agents name on the lease then it is theier lease. Did you sign anything allowing that real estate agent to represent you under all situations when you are not around?<br><b>References : </b><br> I dont see how this could be valid.
