Description

The Listing Agreement Form with Multiple Agents in Illinois is designed for real estate transactions involving multiple agents representing sellers and buyers. This form outlines the seller's consent to allow a designated realtor to show their property to prospective buyers. A key feature is the agreement on the professional fee, which can be a fixed amount or a percentage of the sales price, payable at closing if the transaction occurs. The form requires both parties to acknowledge their understanding of the agency relationship, which can vary from single agent representation to a transactional agency. Attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants will find this form useful as it clearly establishes the terms of engagement and the financial obligations tied to the showing of the property. Filling out the form involves providing essential details such as property address, seller and buyer identities, and the agreed-upon fee. Legal professionals should ensure that all parties receive a copy of the signed agreement, maintaining transparency in the real estate process. This comprehensive agreement helps to prevent misunderstandings and establishes clear expectations for all involved in the property transaction.
