Other ProZ entries are helpful but have to do with HR/Labor. This is in reference to a home-buyer's agent (realtor, I guess) and what s/he will be paid once the sale goes through.

buyer's mandate authorising the estate agent to search for a property

but I would italicize it and leave it as is, followed by the explanation in-between parentheses as I believe it's particular to France

See explanation below...

I don't know exactly what you would translate this as, but it is the agreement made between the buyer and the agent to pay over the sales commission that was agreed in the original mandate that the buyer signed for the agent to find them a property.

property search criteria consent form

Hello,

This is a form that a potential buyer signs with a realtor to ensure that he or she will only search properties according to the criteria mentioned in the consent form.

I assume that the realtor is legally bound to this consent form to some degree.

This form may be unique to France. So, I don't think there is a standard word in the US, for that matter.

I hope this helps.
