A West Virginia real estate listing agreement is a document whereby a property owner engages the services of a real estate agent to sell residential property on their behalf. The completed document will provide the terms of the agreement, including the listing period, listing price, commission rate, and broker fees.

The type of agency relationship will also be defined in the agreement: either exclusive right to sell, exclusive agency, or open listing. If a sale is negotiated and finalized before the listing period expires, the agent will earn a commission either as a flat rate, or as a percentage of the final sales price.

• Dual Agency (§ 30-40-26(d)) – Dual agency is legal in West Virginia with the requirement that the buyer and seller both provide their written consent.
• Purchase Agreement – A purchase contract that allows the buyer to make an offer to buy residential real estate from its owner.
