A New York real estate listing agreement is used when a residential property owner wishes to give a real estate broker permission to list, market, and sell their real property. The document details the listing price, location of the property, the agent’s commission, and if the seller allows for dual agency.
The agreement also allows the seller to determine the marketing that will be allowed to take place, such as photography services or if the property may be listed on third-party websites. The broker will be permitted to list and attempt the sale of the property upon the execution of this contract.
