Land Listing Agreement

Trustpilot

A land listing agreement is a contract between a land owner and real estate agent that authorizes the latter to find a buyer for the property. The agreement contains information about who each party is and what their roles and responsibilties are under the agreement. It states how long the partnership will last for and what actions should be taken to modify, extend, or terminate the agreement.

The purpose of the land listing agreement is to govern the relationship between a land owner and a real estate agent, which reinforces positive interactions between them and discourages legal complaints coming up under the duration of the contract.
