The Key Changes Introduced by the New Real Estate Brokerage Act

On 7 July 2026, the new Real Estate Brokerage Act (hereinafter: the “Act”) entered into force. The purpose of the Act is to enhance legal certainty, strengthen consumer protection, and promote greater transparency and order in the real estate market.

Whether you are buying, selling, or leasing real estate, or working professionally as a real estate broker, the changes introduced by this Act affect you. The new Act now defines much more precisely who may charge a brokerage commission, under which circumstances, and at what stage of the transaction. In doing so, it further strengthens the rights of all participants in the real estate market. Among the most significant changes are clear rules on the so-called “double commission”, the prohibition of making a property viewing conditional upon the conclusion of a brokerage agreement, as well as other statutory provisions.

Establishment of a company

Forms of companies recognized by the Croatian legal system are determined by the Companies Act, and we divide them into personal companies: public companies, limited liability partnerships and economic interest associations, and capital companies: joint-stock companies and limited liability companies.

In practice, the most common form of companies is a limited liability company (Cro. društvo s ograničenom odgovornošću – d.o.o.), so our parties, whether Croatian or foreign citizens, natural or legal persons, most often choose this form of company to carry out their economic activities.

Real estate purchase and sale

In case you are buying or selling real estate, there are several necessary steps in the successful realization of this legal act. We definitely advise you to seek legal advice from a lawyer who will perform the necessary inspections of the real estate for you, draft a purchase and sale contract that best suits your needs, as well as accompany you on your path to a successful purchase/sale.

The real estate purchase and sale is a bilaterally binding legal act in which the seller commits to hand over the real estate to the buyer’s possession and ownership, and the buyer pays the purchase price for that. The Civil Obligations Act prescribes a written form for a real estate purchase and sale contract. Such a written contract must contain certain necessary elements to be valid but also suitable for the registration of the ownership right in the land registry.
