An Indiana real estate listing agreement establishes an arrangement whereby an agent is hired to advertise and sell their client’s home. The agreement defines a listing period during which the agent will market the property and negotiate offers. If the property is not sold during this time or through any listing extension, the seller can work up a new agreement with the agent or move on to another brokerage firm.

A critical component to any listing contract is the commission paid by the seller upon the transaction closing (typically around 5-6% of the final sales price). Indiana law requires the contract to be in writing, with a copy provided to the seller within three (3) business days of signing.

  • Laws – 876 IAC 8-2-1
  • Dual Agency (IC 25-34.1-10-12 & IC 25-34.1-10-7) – A licensee may represent both buyer and seller as a “limited agent” so long as both parties give written consent.
  • Purchase Agreement – Details the conditions of an official purchase offer. The contract is negotiable and only becomes final once both the seller and buyer have agreed to all terms.
