Q: Is my agent violating conditions of our residential listing agreement?
Our agreement states listing will expire after 60 days of Active market time on MLS. We're currently in escrow for the 2nd time. First time house was Active for 6 days, second time for 7 days. MLS has two entries where house is shown to be on and off the market in a single day. Since agent is entering incorrect information into MLS reflecting Active time on market, can she use this incorrect information to prolong our listing agreement?
A: The best solution is to have an honest talk with your real estate agent. Ask when the listing began and when it will expire. These are simple questions with simple answers. There may not be any wrongdoing on your agent's part.
