FAQ
The listing agreement is a document that protects your real estate agent. It ensures they will receive their commission if they find a buyer for your property and gives them exclusive rights to sell your home. Most real estate agents expect their clients to sign one of these agreements before they do any work for them.
Signatories sign legal documents, international agreements, and contracts. These types of documents have multiple parties that need to sign the agreement. Signers are anyone who needs to provide a signature to legal documents.
As a buyer: When you'd like to see any property, whether it's exploring your options or if you're ready to buy—you must sign a Buyer Broker Agreement. In Utah, it is expected to request a buyer-broker agreement.
Also, under the statute of frauds, a listing agreement must be in writing and must be signed by the seller. (If the property has more than one owner, only one of them has to sign the listing.) The broker usually also signs the listing agreement, although her signature is not strictly required.
Listing agents represent home sellers — as the name suggests, they create and promote the listing for a home that's for sale. Somewhat confusingly, selling agents represent the purchaser's interests and are therefore also known as buyer's agents.
A listing agreement is between the parties that own a property and the agents or brokers who will find a buyer for it. Typically, a real estate listing agreement involves the property owner and a real estate agent. The property owner, or seller, grants the agent the right to market and sell the property.
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.
