FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! Listing Agreements Aren't all the Same If you are selling your home, and plan to list it with a real estate agency, what type of listing contract will you sign? There are three primary types of listing agreements and each one offers a different level of service, rights, and responsibilities for both the real estate agent and the home seller. Exclusive Right to Sell Listing Agreement The Exclusive Right to Sell is the most commonly used listing contract. As its name implies, it gives the agency the exclusive right to sell your property. You pay a commission to the agency at closing no matter who buys the property, even if you find the buyer yourself. If an agency other than the listing ageny sells the home, the listing agency typically splits its total commission with the second agency. Exclusive Agency Agreement The Exclusive Agency listing contract also gives a specific agency the right to market and sell the property, but with one big difference—the seller retains the right to sell the property without paying a commission if he sells it to a buyer who was not introduced to the property by the agency. The listing agency shares its commission with another agency if the second agency brings a buyer. Open Listing In an open listing, no single agency has an exclusive on selling the property and the owner can sell it himself without paying a commission to anyone. A seller can sign an Open Listing with multiple agencies. If the seller does pay a commission, it's to the selling agency only. No commissions would be shared in an Open Listing scenario. Which Listing Contract is Best? Many agencies will only offer you an Exclusive Right to Sell agreement because it protects their investment. Good real estate agencies spend a great deal of time and money to market and sell their listings. It isn't worthwhile for them to sign an Exclusive Agency agreement, because it leaves you with the option of selling the house yourself at any time during the listing period—even after their marketing efforts are in full swing. There's also the question of which party truly introduced the buyer. Did the buyer come to you because she saw the agency's signs or advertising—and chose to bypass the agent? Sticking with an Exclusive Right to Sell solves that problem. Many agencies will sign an Open Listing, but don't expect any type of marketing from them. If they have a buyer they think might be interested, they'll show it, but they won't spend time and money to push a property that's listed by multiple agencies.

Read More FEATURED ARTICLE: REITs still a valuable investment By: Sarasota Herald Tribune Article from Sarasota Herald Tribune, published by Sarasota Herald-Tribune on March 13, 2005. The length of the article is 889 words. Excerpt: In January, our outlook for REITs was one of guarded optimism. Concerned that the stocks would become pricier, and yields would be driven down because of price depreciation, we cautioned investors about a potentially rapid decline which could create an opportunity to reinvest in the sector. We were right--the sector has pulled back about 19 percent. As a result, many REITs look a lot more attractive now than they looked at the beginning of April. Through March 31, the average REIT was up 13 percent year-to-date. $5.95 - click here to order Search for More Information Web www.reitnet.com

The Emergency Land Protection Fund is critical to the protection of properties highly threatened by development. The Conservation Trust has operated the Fund since 2001 thanks to generous donations from a key supporter. One hundred percent of the Emergency Land Protection Loan Fund is invested in land. Loans from the fund are repaid by local land trusts within twelve months at a low interest rate, allowing funds to be continuously reinvested in highly threatened properties. Thus far, the Fund has been used to protect 974 acres in North Carolina’s mountains. The vast majority of the funds are dedicated to protecting land in the mountains. Properties protected through the Emergency Land Protection Loan Fund Ruby Bend - Land Trust for the Little Tennessee The protected property consists of 61 acres on the Little Tennessee Rive in Macon County. The property is adjacent to the Needmore property, which has been the state’s highest priority river conservation project in Western North Carolina.

Beech Creek Bog - Blue Ridge Rural Land Trust This 120-acre bog is the largest and the most pristine example of a bog community existing in the state. The bog was transferred November 1, 2002 to NC Parks and Recreation and will be managed for the public to enjoy as the new Beech Creek Bog State Natural Area. Water Quality and Endangered Habitat - High Country Conservancy This 22-acre parcel in Watauga County was purchased to protect forested mountain slopes containing habitat for rare and endangered species, a buffer zone for a protected old-growth forest on Blue Ridge Parkway land, and a tributary of Winkler’s Creek - a source of the town of Boone’s water supply.
