FAQ
The exclusive right to sell listing agreement is the most common type of agreement in real estate. Under this arrangement, the broker is given exclusive rights to market the property for a set period.
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.
Explanation: The valid ways to terminate a listing agreement include expiration of the agreement's term, mutual agreement between the seller and the agent, and when the property sells and closes. The option that is not a valid way to terminate a listing agreement is when 'the buyer requests it'.
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.
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.
Up to a certain point, it is legal to list your home with multiple Realtors in most states. It would be a logistical nightmare (we'll cover that in detail below), but it is still technically legal. The moment it becomes not okay is when you sign an exclusive agency listing with a particular broker or firm.
Exclusive Rights-to-Sell Listing This gives the real estate agent the exclusive rights to market your home and list it on MLS. They will receive the full commission as long the home is sold within the designated timeframe. This is the preferred agreement for most real estate agents.
