Fully understanding a listing agreement

When selling your home, it’s crucial to fully understand the listing agreement BEFORE signing. This contract sets the stage for your relationship with your agent and outlines the terms of selling your home.
Think of it as a roadmap for the sale, so you both know where you are the entire time and that you’ve agreed on where you want to end up!
🔑 What’s a Listing Agreement? A listing agreement is a formal contract between you and your agent, giving them the authority to sell your home. It’s the foundation of your selling process!
💼 Exclusive Right-to-Sell Agreement: This agreement grants your agent exclusive rights to sell your property. It protects both you and your agent, ensuring they’re compensated for their efforts while focusing on securing you the best deal.
📑 What’s Included? Review everything carefully: the listing price, appliances, agent’s commission, expiration date, and marketing strategies(!). It’s essential to feel comfortable with each term.
🔒 Protection Clause: This ensures your agent gets paid if they bring a buyer, even if the contract expires before closing.
🛑 Exiting the Agreement: Know your rights. You have the option to terminate if things aren’t working out, but be aware of your obligations if a buyer is already involved.
Understanding the listing agreement protects you and ensures a smooth selling process!
