Q: Is a buyers Real Estate Agent entitled to verify the List/Exclusive Right to Sell Agreement signed by the Selling Agent?
I'm a licensed Real Estate Agent, I have a buyer interested in a property, I asked the selling/listing agent to provide me a copy of the Listing/Exclusive Right to Sell Agreement as I want to verify it.
She denied to deliver. Her broker also denied. What instances can I go to get that agreement disclosed for review. I believe I have the right to see that agreement and check its terms and conditions and make sure that the selling agent is truly entitled to sell that property. Am I wrong? Is there any legislation in that sense. Any norms that support my request? Thank you.
A: There is no such thing they have to disclose. The listing agreement, and any agreement between seller and broker, is confidential and up to broker to disclose the terms. There should be nothing more to verify than broker's word the seller agreed to list with broker, and the MLS listing terms for commission. Broker isn't required to disclose any other terms of the listing to a buyer agent (how long the listing is for etc).
