REAL Estate Property Listing Service

“Man is the measure of all things.”

- Protagoras /proʊˈtæɡərəs/; Greek: Πρωταγόρας, 490 BC – 420 BC

LISTING - refers to the authority given by the seller, buyer, lessor, lessee, owner, borrower or lender for the Broker to negotiate the sale, purchase, lease, mortgage or exchange of a real estate property for a stipulated period of time, price and terms, as well as the rate of commission. Listings also refer to the STOCK in trade or the property which a Broker is authorized to sell. Listing is the STOCK-in-trade, the inventory, of a real estate Broker as merchandise is the stock-in-trade of merchant and not the land or property that is the subject of a listing contact. Its closest affinity is to that of an insurance policy being a contract guaranteeing protection to the insured against loss or damage from specified risks or upon occurrence of an event. Listing should be treated with great respect, handled professionally and should drawn according to the required legal form.
