A Delaware real estate listing agreement is a contract that grants a real estate agent the authority to sell an owner’s property and earn a commission from the sale. The contract specifies how the agent will market the property to buyers, a process that typically involves online advertisements, displaying “for sale” signs, interior and exterior photographs, installing lockboxes, and in-person showings.

Most agents receive a percentage-based commission that is split between them and the buyer’s agent at closing. While less common, some agents may choose to receive payment in the form of a fixed dollar amount. These financial terms and all other contract features can be negotiated by the seller and agent before signing.

  • Laws – 24 Del.C. § 2930(a)
  • Dual Agency (§ 2933(c)(1)(c)) – It is legal for the same agent to represent the buyer and seller. Delaware law presumes that the parties consent to dual agency unless they state otherwise in a Consumer Information Statement, which can be found below in the disclosures/waivers section.
  • Purchase Agreement – A contract that spells out the terms agreed to by a buyer and seller regarding the transfer of real estate ownership.
