Length Of A Listing Agreement

We invest a considerable amount of time and money into our listings, and our standard practice is to take a 6 month listing at minimum. This is calculated from the first day it is available to the public on the MLS. Many times a listing needs time to get ready before public viewings. However, as soon as the listing agreement is signed, we are able to pre-market within our brokerage on the Long Realty HotSheet. This can get a little buzz going in anticipation of its public debut.  

We do write in the majority of our listing agreements that either party may cancel the agreement with cause and written notice. This can sometimes come into play if the reason for selling falls through such as a job transfer not happening, a couple reconciling, or a myriad of other reasons. We always want what is best for you and your situation!  All parties need to be on board with the same goals in mind for success.  

Some agents will give you a difficult time if your needs change, but you will never receive that sort of treatment from us. Others may allow you to cancel without a reason or any notice, but many of those agents will not invest the time, effort and money into your listing that we will. We feel that being flexible without being blasé is a great approach that has worked well, and something our past clients have appreciated.
