THE MULTIPLE LISTING AGREEMENT

The Multiple Listing Contract (MLC) is used when a seller engages a Realtor to list their property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The MLC outlines the professional relationship between the Seller, the Seller’s Realtor, and the Seller’s Realtor’s Brokerage and also outlines the terms of the listing and agreement including listing price & date your property will be on market.

* This contract is giving permission to "market" your property (to attract a buyer) this is not "selling" your property. *
