# Top 5 Legal Traps Property Agents Must Avoid in Pakistan
The real estate industry in Pakistan is riddled with pitfalls — many of which aren’t just financial, but **legal**. Here are 5 critical mistakes agents make — and how to avoid them.
## 1. Verbal Commitments Without Contracts
A handshake means nothing in court. Always have a written agreement.
## 2. No Commission Agreement
Without documentation, your commission is at risk. Lawza provides customizable commission templates.
## 3. Using Unverified Ownership Documents
Selling property without verifying ownership through proper channels (e.g. Fard/Mutation) is a legal nightmare.
## 4. No Witness Signatures
An undocumented witness means little in court. Lawza ensures this is built-in.
## 5. Skipping Possession Certificates
Possession without paperwork? That’s an invitation to a future dispute.
## Solution
**Lawza helps prevent all of the above.** With templates designed by legal experts, property agents stay covered.
