A Vermont real estate listing agreement is a contract that outlines the terms by which a real estate broker will be engaged by a property owner to sell residential property on their behalf. The document authorizes the broker to list, market, access, and show the property, as well as negotiate its sale.

The broker will earn their commission, either a percentage of the property’s sale or a flat rate, only if it is sold within the designated listing period. Vermont brokers are required to disclose whether they work for a designated or non-designated agency to potential clients prior to executing a listing agreement.
