Exclusive - A real estate employment contract with
    a broker by which only that broker may sell the
    property and cooperation of other brokers is not
    solicited. In other words, the listing broker himself
    must locate and represent the buyer. Exclusive listings
    need not be entered into the MLS. These listings will
    not be sent to any Internet sites.

Exclusive Agency -  A real estate employment contract
    in which a seller hires a broker to list his or her
    property for sale, with the understanding that the
    seller retains the right to sell the property directly
    to a buyer not produced by the broker without paying
    a commission. The listing broker may publish the
    listing in the MLS and cooperate with other brokers
    to sell the property. The nature of the listing must
    generally be disclosed, because it places cooperating
    brokers at risk of losing a client to the seller.

Exclusive Right With Exception

Exclusive Right To Sell (also referred to as Exclusive
    Listing) - A real estate employment contract in which a
    sellar hires a single broker to list his or her property
    for sale. The broker may publish the listing in the MLS
    and cooperate with other brokers in the sale. The broker
    is entitled to receive a commission regardless of who
    actually sells the property. For example, if the sellers
    decide to sell to a relative, the broker would still
    be entitled to a commission.

Net - A listing of real property that permits the list-
    ing agent to keep any consideration received over an
    amount guaranteed to the owner. This practice is fraught
    with ethical quandaries, so much so that such a listing
    arrangement is illegal in some states.

Open - A listing of real property wherein more than one
    broker is permitted to offer a property for sale under
    separate listing agreements.

Probate - A sale of real property of a decedent with the
    consent of, or at the direction and supervision of, a court
    of competent jurisdiction. Probate sales of real property
    listed by a real estate broker may require court confirma-
    tion and may be subject to overbid by other potential
    buyers at the confirmation hearing.
