A contract in which a party hires a licensed real estate agent to assist them in the sale of property.
A net listing is an agreement between the seller of a home and the broker entrusted by the seller to find a buyer. In most listing agreements, the broker is entitled to a percentage of the selling price as his commission.
The Exclusive Agency listing authorizes the listing broker, as exclusive agent, to offer cooperation and compensation on blanket unilateral bases, but also reserves to the seller the general right to sell the property on an unlimited or restrictive basis.Unless the buyers agency is a member within the same Multiple Listing Service, the buyers agent should be certain to get a commission agreement in writing from the listing broker, prior to writing an offer to purchase. Without this agreement, the listing broker does not have to pay out a coop commission.
Typically no but it depends on the listing agreement you signed. Read it carefully. If the listing period has expired many listing agreements state that if a person was shown your property during the time it was listed and wants to buy it after the listing has expired you may still owe the Real Estate Company a commission. Most listing agreements speak to this in the agreement with a time period - like 180 day - after the listing has expired. This is the way a Real Estate Broker protects themselves from people trying to go around them by dealing directly with the seller.
Listing agreements usually call for seller to pay broker commissions in a sale transaction. And if there is also a buyer's broker, for a "cooperative" fee, also paid by the seller. If there is no listing agreement the parties may be free to negotiate anything they want, but custom in the locality may dictate the outcome.
Normally agents will let you out of the listing contract, provided the seller agrees that anyone who viewed the property while it was listed will be a protected client for that broker and a commission will be payable if that potential buyer turns into a real buyer within an agreed upon period of time. (Ex: 90 days) If you have a legitimate reason to cancel the listing agreement, contacting the broker in charge of your agent's office should result in the listing being cancelled. The bottom line, if you as a seller refuse to cooperate with showings, the broker's chance of selling the house plummets and most agents have no desire to deal with all that!
The listing agreement belongs to the broker of the firm you listed with.
Yes, usually even before the end of the listing period. However, in the agreement it will normally stipulate that if you sell your property to anyone during the remainder of the period stated, you must pay the appropriate commission to the listing broker. Read the agreement to make sure.
You can rescind your real estate listing agreement at any time. This is usually listed in your terms that you sign with the agent.

Yes it is, but remember, just like the Commission rate it is negotiable. In my area the agents usually pay it to keep the seller happy if they are getting the listing. Just read your listing agreement of buyer's agency agreement carefully.
Yes. As long as it sells... at any price, until the listing agreement expires (and then some) they make $. They don't even have to be the selling agent.
No. All the owners must sign or the contract is not enforceable.
Yes it is. If you breach or break the agreement, you can be legally held liable before a court & the company or realtor you signed with could sue you for damages or penalties.
