If you have not entered into a written agency agreement, you are considered to be a customer rather than a client. As a customer, you represent yourself. Any information that you, the customer, disclose to the agent representing another party will be disclosed to that other party. Even though licensees may be representing other parties, they are obligated to treat you honestly, give you accurate information, and disclose all known adverse material facts. BRRETAWhich of the following is an advantage for sellers when entering into an exclusive right to sell agreement?The exclusive right to sell listing is advantageous because it gives the agent an exclusive window to sell the property without worrying that another agent or broker will swoop in and close a deal before they can sell the property.
Why would a seller want an exclusive listing?The Exclusive Listing Agreement establishes a ground for honesty, trust, and confidence between seller and broker. Such a relationship is important during the marketing process and through the closing of the sale or lease. We require this foundation for every property we sell or lease.
What is the difference between an exclusive listing and an exclusive right to sell?The primary difference between exclusive agency and exclusive right-to-sell relates to commission fees. In an exclusive agency listing, the seller only pays fees if the agent sells the property. In an exclusive right to sell agreement, the seller must pay realtor fees regardless of if the property is sold.
What is exclusive seller agency quizlet?Under an exclusive agency listing, the owner may sell the property himself without owing the broker a commission; under an exclusive right to sell listing, the broker is owed a commission no matter who sells the property.
