English translation:Engagement date
Explanation:
If it isn't the date the broker was engaged to sell the property, then I don't know enough Swedish to work as a translator. :-) See page 17 of the linked document for an analogous use, albeit not by a broker specifically.

disagree  Charlesp: only if legal (ie. to a solicitor, lawyer), and from the context, this doesn't work = as it refers to a broker.

  -> Thanks for your candidness. However, I do believe estate agents/realtors are indeed instructed, at least in the UK.

listing contract or assignement contract


Explanation:
"assignment date" is exactly what it says. But if it means, which I believe (since it followed after "important dates), the day the listing contract (or assignment contract or, less common, mandate) came into effect, usually the day of the signing… it should be specified with "made effective on", possibly "signed and made effective" (if that was the case)

Asker: This was a good suggestion, but there was also a "kontraktsdatum", and I didn't want to get the two mixed up, so in this particular case I went with a variation of a different suggestion.
