A New Jersey real estate listing agreement is a document that enables a broker to advertise and sell a property owner’s real estate. It details the listing price, the commission earned by the agent, and permits certain marketing practices (e.g., hiring professional photographers, putting up a “For Sale” sign).

A listing agreement also grants the agency the freedom to work with other real estate agents to assist with the marketing of the property. Once the form has been signed by the seller and broker, the licensee will be able to advertise the property until the expiration of the listing period detailed in the agreement.
