A South Carolina real estate listing agreement is a contract between a real estate agent and a property owner that gives the agent the right to represent the owner in the sale of their residential property. Once the document has been signed, the agent will be given the power to list the property and oversee its marketing, negotiate the purchase price, and show the premises to interested buyers.

The agent will be given a set period of time in which they must sell the property before the agreement expires. If the agent negotiates a successful sale, they will be entitled to a percentage of the purchase price as a commission (or a flat fee).

• Laws – § 40-57-135(I)(2)
