A Georgia real estate listing agreement is a service contract with which a broker is hired to sell real estate on behalf of a property owner. Among other terms, the listing agreement will be used to define the seller’s asking price, how the property can be advertised, the broker’s commission, and the start and end dates of the listing period.
Should the broker be presented with an acceptable purchase offer before the listing period expires, a purchase contract may be executed between the buyer and seller, after which the broker will be entitled to the designated commission at closing. For contracts granting exclusive selling rights, each party must receive an original copy of the listing agreement after signing.
- Laws – § 520-1-.06(1)
- Dual Agency (§ 10-6A-12) – Dual agency is legal in Georgia if the broker obtains written consent from both parties.
- Purchase Agreement – A contract in which a buyer proposes the conditions of a purchase offer to a seller, including the purchase price, offer expiration date, and any financial or other contingencies.
