Open Listing Agreement
Owner: [Name] · Agent/Broker: [Name/Brokerage] Property: [Address] · List Price: [Amount] · Date: [Date]
1. Non-Exclusive Listing
Owner engages Agent, on a non-exclusive basis, to market the property described above for sale. Owner may simultaneously list the property with other agents/brokers and may also sell it independently without owing any commission.
2. Commission
If Agent (or Agent's efforts) procures a ready, willing, and able buyer who completes the purchase, Owner will pay Agent a commission of [%] of the sale price. No commission is owed to Agent if another agent, or Owner directly, produces the buyer who ultimately completes the sale.
3. Term
This listing runs from [Start Date] to [End Date], after which it expires unless renewed in writing.
4. Marketing
Agent may market the property through [Methods — MLS listing subject to MLS rules, signage, online listings], as Agent determines appropriate.
5. Property Access
Owner will provide reasonable access for showings, subject to advance scheduling.
Owner: ______________________ Date: ____________ Agent: ______________________ Date: ____________
*Because commission only goes to whichever agent actually produces the buyer, agents typically invest less marketing effort in an open listing than an exclusive one — owners choosing this structure to maximize agent competition should weigh that against potentially less aggressive marketing from any single agent.*
