NO....never on a resale....I have builders who are very loyal and even if the buyer goes directly to them, we do the deal and get a full commission....I've listed 40 subdivisions and have had 2 listing agreements.... the builders were usually afraid of making ME angry and cutting THEM loose.... a great working relationship for decades....they're all retired now....JUST AS I SHOULD BE!!!

Nope. Why would I want to spend my time and energy with someone who does not respect my work? On the other hand, If I have a buyer who is interested on a FSBO property, then I will contact the seller and request for the one time showing. I like to think that I spend my time wisely only with those I am proud to call clients.

No... I spend a lot of money marketing my listings, so they would need to front me that money before I did anything. But how would I market it and syndicate it out without mls? That's what's known as an exclusive agency agreement, but even that needs signed documents here.

Tony and Suzanne Marriott, Associate Brokers Verbal Open Listing just don't work. If you choose to do this make sure you get a One Time Showing Agreement signed before you bring a potential buyer. As far as allowing me to market the property, no way.

While there are properties I may like to market in order to try and find a buyer (no different from marketing my own listings, really), I would need some type of written agreement to protect myself from potential liability if I decided I wanted to give it a shot.  I would do it if I was looking for a creative way of stirring up some business.

No I think as I said before I believe in mutual trust and sellers who only want to meet you half way is someone I would not want to work with. You have to know when to hold them and fold them as the saying goes.

Then it's a FSBO, I'd definitely bring it to a buyer if it was a fit. I'd market it to other buyers in my database as well. Heck, I'll throw $50 at a FB ad too and see if I could leverage it into some leads.

 

I don't do dual agency, so wouldn't make sense for me to have them sign a listing agreement anyway if I'm repping the buyer.

No, but I would suggest and explain to them the type of listing agreement where they don't have to pay a commission if they find the buyer on their own.
