Special Agent

In Jamaican real estate, a special agent is a type of real estate agent appointed to perform a specific, limited task on behalf of a client, typically for a single transaction. Unlike a general agent, who might have broad, ongoing authority, a special agent has a more focused role and authority limited to a particular task, such as selling or buying a specific property. This agency relationship ends once the specified task is completed, and the agent does not have the authority to make decisions beyond the agreed scope of the transaction. Special agents are common in real estate transactions, ensuring that clients receive targeted representation without broad delegation of authority.
