Description

The termination of listing agreement serves as a formal document to cancel an existing real estate listing agreement between a broker and a seller in Los Angeles. This form comprises several key components, including the date of cancellation, the mutual agreement to terminate the listing, and the release of claims by both parties. Importantly, the broker waives any claims against the seller for further obligations except for reimbursement of specific marketing and advertising expenses incurred. The form also preserves the broker's right to claim commissions earned prior to termination. It is intended for use by legal professionals such as attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who may need to guide clients through the cancellation process. Users are advised to fill in all required information clearly, including dates and amounts, and ensure that both parties sign for the agreement to be effective. This document is particularly useful when a seller wishes to end a listing arrangement without lingering obligations, thus streamlining the transition to a new arrangement or broker.
