1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.297
Before a buyer makes an offer, the owner may engage

2
00:00:03.320 --> 00:00:05.445
a brokerage through a listing agreement.

3
00:00:05.828 --> 00:00:10.182
This contract defines the brokerage's employment and specified services.

4
00:00:10.507 --> 00:00:14.187
Follow the connection from owner, through the listing contract, to

5
00:00:14.245 --> 00:00:14.930
brokerage.

6
00:00:15.255 --> 00:00:18.808
Read the duration, services, and compensation terms.

7
00:00:19.133 --> 00:00:21.443
Fees and services are negotiable.

8
00:00:21.769 --> 00:00:24.439
Keep the listing separate from the purchase contract.

9
00:00:24.717 --> 00:00:27.457
The listing establishes the brokerage engagement.

10
00:00:27.736 --> 00:00:31.208
A buyer's purchase contract establishes the sale terms.

11
00:00:31.533 --> 00:00:35.027
Different listing types also use different compensation triggers.

12
00:00:35.538 --> 00:00:36.386
Quick check:

13
00:00:36.769 --> 00:00:40.252
does signing a listing agreement itself transfer the owner's title

14
00:00:40.287 --> 00:00:41.134
to a buyer?

15
00:00:43.738 --> 00:00:44.284
No.

16
00:00:44.725 --> 00:00:47.859
The listing creates the brokerage engagement; it is not the

17
00:00:47.918 --> 00:00:49.322
deed conveying title.
