A Utah listing agreement is a legal document that establishes the terms by which a real estate broker will be authorized to sell a property on behalf of a property owner. The most common type of listing agreement is the exclusive agreement, which gives the broker a set period of time to sell the property, as well as exclusive authority to sell for that duration. If the seller enters into an open agreement, the property may be sold by any real estate broker, who will then be entitled to a commission. The contract must specify the property’s listing price, the broker’s compensation upon sale, the duties of the broker and the seller, a description of the property, and any additional items that will be included in the sale.
