Property Listing Agreement
A property listing agreement is a contract granting a broker the right to offer a property for sale or lease in exchange for a commission if a transaction closes within the term. Use this when a homeowner lists residential or commercial property with an agent. It sets list price guidance, marketing plan, commission split, and whether the listing is exclusive.
