do you understand your listing agreement

Be sure if you are signing anything to read it and asked questions if you do not understand it especially listing agreements. Who cares if you need to asked a question.

I had a client call yesterday saying they had found a buyer for their home but that they did not want to continue it on the market with me it was their friend. I have had other friends that list their real estate and have called me asking questions about the listing. Its was expired but they know its still being marketed because its on their listing agents web page. They need to sale really bad and I have always said did you read the listing agreement. Once it is expired it may remain on a web page by accident or still be in a magazine but its off your multiple listing service because its expired and all. Once its expried you need to re-list with your agent or find a new agent. Or not sale keep it for renatl purposes.

I am concerned that when Lister's just sign and do not read or just want their homes sold they do not follow through on what their responsibilities are. Sometimes common sense is not common sense once you have read it. Once you have read what you signed you may say oh I agreed to this the Real Estate Agent is not being mean just doing what I had already agreed to do. I have had clients feel that I am thinking they were trying to break law or that they did it on purpose or that I was being mean because common sense says this is the correct way. However once you read your listing agreement you can say oh that makes sense why my realtor said that they were just dong what I agreed on with the listing agreement.

I have done this in other issues as well my self with contracts on technologies that i have bought or just taking something back to Wal*Mart what their policy's are.

Please understand that if you are helpful enough to find a buyer a commission is still going to have to be paid that is why you hired your Realtor and they should be willing to help you out. Just read what you are signing and allow us or your Realtor too explain more on the agreement if have questions.
