An Idaho real estate listing agreement is used to grant a licensed broker the authority to advertise and sell property on behalf of an owner. The broker’s ability to market the sale is dependant on the permissions granted in the contract. In most arrangements, the broker is allowed to publish information online, post ads in newspapers and flyers, host open houses, and arrange private viewings. Compensation for the broker’s listing services is furnished in the form of a commission rate (%) or a flat fee ($).

To ensure compliance with Idaho statutes, the agreement must contain a property description, beginning and expiration dates, pricing terms, the broker’s compensation, and the seller’s signature with the date of signing.

  • Laws§ 54-2050(1)

The above-stated disclosure should contain the parties’ initials or signatures and the date of signing.
