The Listing Contract

The listing contract authorizes your Shuswap REALTOR® and their brokerage to market and sell your home. This agreement serves 3 purposes:

  1. It defines your relationship including the limits of your REALTOR's® authority.
  2. It provides detailed information about the home/property.
  3. It forms the basis for drafting offers on your home.

Information included in the listing contract will specify:

  • Full names of the Sellers (those listed on title)
  • Current address for the Sellers
  • Name, address and phone number for the brokerage the REALTOR® works with
  • The start and end dates of the listing contract
  • The civic and legal addresses for the property offered for sale
  • The listing price
  • The commission payable should the property be sold. It will also state the commission that is offered to the REALTOR® who represents the Buyer.
  • The last page of the listing contract is called a Schedule A. This is where the services provided by the Listing REALTOR® will be specified.

Remember, this is a contract. You cannot simply back out of this contract later without the consent of the REALTOR® and/or broker. Be sure that all the information has been completed and ask questions before you sign if there are things you do not understand.
