A Washington real estate listing agreement is a contract that relays the terms whereby a broker is hired to provide listing services to a seller of residential property. The completed document will provide all pertinent information of the arrangement including the property address, seller information, asking price, listing period, and the broker’s commission rate. Most listing agreements are exclusive, which means that only one (1) broker will be authorized to represent the seller during the term of their contract. If the contract is for an “open listing,” the seller may be represented by multiple agencies with the commission going to the agent that successfully sells the property.

  • Laws – § 18.86.010(1)
  • Dual Agency (§ 18.86.060) – Dual agency is legal in Washington only if the agent obtains written consent from the buyer and seller.
  • Purchase Agreement – A real estate contract between a buyer and seller for the purchase and sale of a residential property.
