The Real Estate Agent Listing Agreement is a fundamental document in Australian property transactions that formalizes the relationship between property owners and real estate agents. This agreement is essential when a property owner wishes to engage a licensed real estate agent to market and sell their property. It must comply with state-specific legislation and the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002, including mandatory disclosure requirements and consumer protection provisions. The document covers critical aspects such as the agent's authority (exclusive or non-exclusive), commission structure, marketing strategy, duration of appointment, and both parties' obligations. It's particularly important as it protects both the agent's and owner's interests while ensuring transparency in the property sale process. The agreement can be used for both residential and commercial properties and must include all statutory requirements specific to the Australian jurisdiction where the property is located.
