A Kansas real estate agent listing agreement is a contract that outlines a realtor’s rights and obligations regarding a transaction for the sale of real estate. When a realtor agrees to sell an individual’s property, the listing agreement will be implemented so that the parties may define terms such as the type of agreement (e.g., exclusive right to sell, open listing), listing price, listing period, and the payment provided to the realtor in exchange for the services they provide. The compensation reserved for the realtor is generally granted as a percentage of the total sales price following the completion of the sale.
