Prior Introduction

In the event of a sale being made where an agency is aware of a prior introduction by another agency, it is strongly recommended that the selling agency advise the prior introducing agency of the sale. This should be done as soon as possible after the final signature has been secured on the agreement and acceptance conveyed. Ideally it should be done by facsimile with proof of the transmission kept on file.
