All I can share is the # of docs needed to list a property, since I just did it last night (12 documents/ 17 pages). I'm not inclined to spend the time to count the signatures and initials.

oh, how times have changed....another reason to appreciate MY job description!!!  semi-retirement works well....

14/10/14 for a SFR on sewer with no well or septic tank, post 1978 so no LBP. NW AZ.
Listing agreement, Agency and Consent to Limited Dual Representation, Market Conditions Advisory and Data Sheet.
Seller's Disclosures would add another 6-10 pages to that, again depending on the utilities servicing the property.
Contract and addenda, another 10-14 pages, depending.
Commercial contracts? Ha. I have files literally 2 inches thick.
Paperwork is my life.

IL near Chicago - 13 pages of contract, 3 riders usually. That's why Docusign (or similar) is a blessing. Usually a ratified contract is 21 pages.

But things are getting easier lol.

That signiture count looks a little high...and I don't do many wet signings these days.

I am going to get a listing later this morning and will actually count, i dont think it is that many though

17 Documents or pages?

You really have 17 DOCUMENTS? Ours will vary depending on type of ownership, e.g., a trust

Wow that's a record for signatures.

When I started in this business, we had a one page contract.  It was legal-sized, print on both sides, 6 point font.

Now, it's a 9 page contract. 5 page Seller's disclosure.  Lead based paint addendum. As-Is addendum. Other addenda.  HOA Disclosure (the disclosure is one page, but the documents can be as thick as the "S" volume of Encyclopedia Britannica).  And on and on.

I didn't know... I had to count.

13 / 26 / 62 (Two sellers ... so two signatures/initials in each location)

btw.. that's 13 documents.. not pages.  That doesn't include the 13 page purchase agreement once we've found a buyer, and their initials on all the documents... this is JUST the seller.

Wow! 

I just drive the bus....

Too many.

Sounds like a lot but with disclosures and initialling every page and changed clauses, maybe not so much!

I've never counted, good question.  The listing agreement packet from the state is the only form I have signed (and the only required form).  That's 5 pages of contract (with 1 signature and 6 initials), plus 5 pages of state relations disclosures, possible representation of more than 1 buyer and seller and finally the seller's advisory.  That's an additional 1 initial and three signatures.

That's a total of 10 pages, 4 signatures and 7 initials.

Once they go under contract, then there are several mandated disclosures but that's not within the scope of this question.

Our typical listing agreement and addendums are 22 pages and the listing agent signs in 3 places. No initials are required.

I've never taken the time to actually count and break it down.  It is a lot, that is for certain! 

Oh My... happy to be retired.  

Glad we have electronic signatures these days

Our southern California board requires:

• Listing agreement
• Agency Agreement
• Possible Representation of Buyers and Sellers Disclosure
• Market Condition Advisory

That's it.

For an Exclusive Right to Sell in Florida, it is a four page listing agreement requiring 5 initial spots for the seller(s) and the signature. Then SPD and any related Disclosures. Your brokerage must be adding bunches to your duty.

Not that many!

Every year they keep adding doc's that people have to sign.

I haven't counted but I doubt it is anything this extensive.

interesting and a bit scary but all contracts have been getting longer and longer for years now

Happy New Year hope 2017 was great and 2018 will be better for you.

I do remember when the listing contract was 1 page the purchase contract was 2 long pages and we had to make sure to write hard enough for the carbon copies to be readable. Ours are 3 pages for contract to list and 7 for the purchase contract but no where near as long and drawn out as some of the people here have to deal with!  I love Alaska!!!

just do it

In Martin County FL, depending on the location and type of property, a free standing single family home only needs one signature and four initials.

Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041 - not half as many!

All about covering the asssets of the broker.

Now, that's a LOT of signatures, Annette - and I thought we had a lot of signin' to do!!

It depends onthe property byt it could be less or a lot more

Annette,

Congratulations on this amazing feat.  A

5 Documents totalling 11 pages (Consumer Guide for Agency Relationships, Listing Contract, MLS Input Form, Sellers Property Condition Disclosure, LBP) 5 Signatures, 7 Initials.

I know we. Do not need many signatures for listings
