The Exclusive Sale
The most common and popular arrangement to have with a real estate agent when selling a specific property is an “exclusive right-to-sell”. This type of agreement has advantages for both the broker and the seller. It allows an agent to give his or her full attention to marketing a seller’s home or property for a certain period of time without competition from other real estate companies.
Within such an exclusive arrangement, the real estate agent shares the listing with national and worldwide referral networks through the Multiple Listing Service that is subscribed to by most real estate sales professionals. The MLS listing assures your home of the widest possible exposure to the market place.
Nine out of ten homes that are sold today are “listed” homes (more in some markets). Enough said!
