An Oregon real estate agent listing agreement authorizes a broker to list, market, and sell real estate on behalf of a seller (principal) in exchange for compensation or commission. This contract helps establish a relationship between broker and principal, outlining the terms and conditions to which both parties are bound. A real estate agent bound to a listing agreement must always keep the principal’s best interests in mind and shall present any and all offers from prospective buyers to their client. The listing agreement can provide the agent with peace of mind, knowing their client will not use another broker while they are bound by the signed contract. Once the property is sold, the broker will take their commission and the agreement is terminated.
