Brokerage Contract Withdrawal Letter (PDF)

This generator prepares a withdrawal letter for a German brokerage contract concluded online or away from business premises. Enter the names and addresses of the sender and broker, then the contract date. You can add a property description or the date of a related email to identify the agreement. You do not need to give a reason. The PDF includes the withdrawal declaration, a request for confirmation and space for a signature.

Prepare and check your letter

Enter the brokerage company name and address from your contract. Choose a general greeting or named contact. The property checkbox reveals an optional address field. Otherwise, select a property introduction or an opportunity to conclude the main contract. Check the contract date in the subject line.

  • Identify the agreement and recipient from your documents.
  • Add the property or related email date if useful.
  • Create the PDF, check its contents and send it yourself.

Example: A contract dated 5 October 2026 with Mustermakler GmbH can refer to Musterstrasse 12, 28195 Bremen. Clear the property checkbox to omit even a previously entered address. The tool does not contact the broker.

Deadlines, limits and local processing

Consumers generally have a withdrawal right for brokerage contracts concluded at a distance or away from business premises. Section 355(2) BGB sets a 14-day period without giving reasons. It generally starts when the contract is concluded, but not before proper withdrawal information under section 356 BGB. Use the withdrawal deadline calculator for date guidance. This letter generator does not assess the information you received or establish whether the right has already expired early.

The request to confirm that no commission or reimbursement of expenses is owed does not determine the legal position. Completed services and agreements about starting work early may need individual review. Withdrawal and ordinary termination are different declarations. Use the termination letter generator for the latter. Your entries and PDF creation stay in your browser. The tool neither sends the document nor stores your contract details on a tool server. Keep the PDF, contract papers and evidence of dispatch yourself. This template is not legal advice.

A small contribution to climate protection

The often quoted 1.76 g CO2 per page view is a historical comparison figure, not a measurement of this website. The IEA reports worldwide data centre electricity consumption of 415 TWh in 2024 in Energy and AI. Local processing avoids the repeated server round trip for document generation. It does not establish a specific CO2 saving for each letter.

Frequently asked questions

What withdrawal period applies to a brokerage contract?

Generally 14 days for consumers contracting at a distance or away from business premises. The contract date and proper withdrawal information matter. Not every brokerage agreement carries this right.

Do I need a form and are my entries private?

No special form or reason is required, but the declaration must clearly state withdrawal. Email or a letter helps preserve evidence. The generator processes entries locally and does not send them.

Is dispatch before the deadline sufficient?

Yes. Section 355(1) BGB makes timely dispatch sufficient to meet the deadline. Retain evidence of dispatch along with the full text of the declaration you sent.

What happens without proper withdrawal information?

The right expires no later than 12 months and 14 days after the contract is concluded. Whether information is defective needs individual assessment. This tool does not review your documents.

Does withdrawal automatically remove the commission?

This tool cannot guarantee that. Services already provided, withdrawal information and requests to start work early may matter. The letter asks for confirmation but does not decide payment claims.

Is an oral residential brokerage contract valid?

Section 656a BGB requires text form for purchasing an apartment or single-family house under agreements made since 23 December 2020. A purely oral agreement in that scope is void. The rule does not cover every property transaction.
