KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.

In the high-stakes world of North Carolina commercial real estate, timing is everything. Whether you are managing triple net lease negotiations, finalizing Letter of Intent (LOI) terms, or navigating Common Area Maintenance (CAM) disputes, being physically present for every signature isn't always possible. This specialized Power of Attorney ensures your designated agent can handle critical brokerage operations—from executing settlement documents under RESPA to managing commission schedules—while complying with N.C. Gen. Stat. § 25-2-201 and protecting your practice under the NC Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 75-1.1).
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Commercial Real Estate Broker:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Misrepresentation claims
Detailed disclaimers in contracts stating that all representations are believed to be accurate but should be independently verified by clients.
Commission disputes
Clear agency agreements and commission schedules included in contracts outlining the fees and when they are earned.
Lease liability issues
Including precise language in leases regarding responsibilities for maintenance, repairs, and liabilities to avoid disputes.
For this power of attorney to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA)
Governs real estate transactions including commercial ones, ensuring transparency in settlement services.
Enforced by Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
Truth in Lending Act (TILA)
Regulates the disclosure of credit terms to protect against unfair billing and credit card practices, applicable when financing is involved in commercial real estate.
Enforced by Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)
While not a federal regulation, UCC is widely adopted state-level legislation that governs commercial transactions including real estate deals.

Under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 25-2-201, specific contracts including the sale of certain goods and interest in real property must be in writing. Your Power of Attorney must be properly executed and notarized to grant your agent the authority to sign these written instruments, ensuring your commercial transactions remain enforceable and compliant with North Carolina law.
Yes, provided the 'Powers Granted' clause specifically includes the authority to manage brokerage agreements and commission schedules. This is vital for mitigating common industry liabilities regarding commission trigger points and ensuring compliance with the North Carolina Wage and Hour Act (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 95-25.1 et seq.) regarding earned compensation.
While the POA empowers your agent to act, any financing involving commercial real estate that falls under TILA or RESPA oversight still requires transparent disclosure. Your agent will be legally authorized to receive and acknowledge these disclosures on your behalf, ensuring your transactions move forward without regulatory delays.
North Carolina law requires a clear Revocation Clause. You can revoke the authority at any time as long as you have legal capacity. You must provide written notice to the agent and, ideally, record the revocation in the county registry if the original document was recorded to clear title issues for commercial properties.
