A listing agreement is a contract between a property owner and a real estate broker that authorizes the broker to represent the seller and find a buyer for the property.
A listing agreement is a legally binding contract between you — the homeowner — and the real estate broker (and agent) you hire to sell your property. It's a contract that outlines the realtor-seller relationship during a real estate transaction.
Off contract lasts “until completion of the obligations of the parties”. A deadline (i.e. a given date, not a month) will be clearly stipulated for the delivery of each deliverable.
A “one-time show” is similar to an open listing in many respects, as it is most often used by real estate agents who are showing a FSBO (for sale by owner) to one of their clients.
The three types of real estate listing agreements are open listing, exclusive agency listing, and exclusive right-to-sell listing.
2. Exclusive right to sell listing agreement. An exclusive right to sell listing is the most widely-used listing agreement. Under this agreement, the broker has the exclusive right to market the property for a specified period of time.
