A Maine real estate listing agreement grants a real estate agent authority to manage the selling of a home on behalf of the property owner. Matters such as marketing the property, handling negotiations, and communicating with prospective buyers are entrusted to the agent, who is responsible for acting in the owner’s best interests and selling the property at their chosen price.
Listing agreements entitle real estate agents to a commission upon closing a sale, the specific amount of which is negotiated between the owner and agent, as well as whether the fee is a fixed amount or a percentage of the final sale price. If the agent cannot secure a buyer before the expiration date set on the form, the agreement is deemed invalid, and they must cease agency.
