Leases are employment contracts between sellers of real estate and real estate agents for the professional services of the broker. The listing contract establishes an agency and trust relationship between the seller and the broker, the seller being the principal and the broker being his agent. The broker usually has sellers who work for them in order to provide the services that consist mainly of finding buyers for the property. However, sellers work for the real estate agent and not for the seller. Only the broker represents the seller. The client who hires a broker may hold an interest in the ownership of real estate to which the client aspires: an exclusive list has a duration of employment determined by a mandatory expiration date of employment, for example. B 90 or 180 days after the start of employment. If the broker does not enter an expiration date into an exclusive offer, he faces disciplinary action from the California Real Estate Bureau (CalBRE) following a complaint. (California) Business and Professions Code §10176 (f)] The Vasquezes argued on appeal that because they had “terminated” the contract and Century 21 had not provided them with a list of potential buyers within 5 days, they were not responsible for paying a commission. The Court of Appeal objected, set aside the summary judgment and referred the case back to the Court of Justice.

A licensed agent representing a broker is an agent of the broker. As the broker`s agent, the agent performs, on behalf of the broker (as well as the client), all activities provided by the client`s broker. In addition, a broker providing real estate services on behalf of a client cannot do so independently of his broker. Therefore, an agent employed by a broker is called “the agent (client)”. Thus, the agent acts as the agent of the agent (his broker). [CC § 2079.13 (b)] A net list indicates that the seller receives a predetermined amount of money from the sale of the property, while the rest goes to the broker. The broker can offer the property for any amount greater than the net amount that goes to the seller. But since the broker often offers the selling price to the seller, this can create a conflict of interest, as the broker is motivated to entice the seller to accept a lower selling price so that their own profit can be maximized. There are different types of listing agreements that vary depending on the exclusivity of the agreement. The exclusive listing agreement of the first Tuesday offers a real estate agent the greatest price protection for his efforts. A list of options gives the broker the right, but not the obligation to acquire the property within a specified period of time after the end of the option.

As this creates, like a net listing, a conflict of interest, the broker must obtain the seller`s written agreement for the option and communicate its gains to the seller. The exclusive first Tuesday listing agreement is used by brokers and their agents when looking for a job by a potential real estate seller. It is prepared and offered by the broker as the seller`s exclusive real estate agent: if you plan to sell your home or property, it may be advantageous to inquire about listing agreements.
