Why Brokers And Real Estate Agents Are Keen To Obtain Listing Agreements

Besides making sales, real estate agents and brokers must have properties to sell. That is why they spend a lot of their time trying to get listings—agreements.

Once the property is sold, both the agent who sold it and the agent who obtained the listing receive a portion of the commission. An agent can increase his or her commission, by listing the property and then selling the same property, without having the share the commission with another agent.
