Read every word of the real estate listing agreement carefully, and make sure you understand everything before you sign it. Don't be afraid to ask about anything you don't understand. 501 Pacific | 550 Pacific - The 550

Make sure your entire listing agreement is in writing and includes everything the Vancouver realestate agent has represented to you.

There are many different ways for a Vancouver RealEstate Agent to list your home:

• Open Listing. The real estate agent has the right to bring prospective buyers to see your home. If the buyer buys your home, the agent gets a commission. You can give an open listing to as many agents as you wish. This arrangement isn't popular with agents, and your home won't get the same market exposure as other homes.

• Exclusive Agency Listing. The agent lists and markets your home, and gets a commission if your home sells through any agent or real estate company. You can also look for buyers on your own, in which case you won't owe the agent a commission.
  
• Exclusive Right To Sell Listing. With this most commonly-used listing, the agent gets a commission no matter who the buyer is, even if you find the buyer yourself.
  
• One-Time Show Listing. The agent can show the home to one potential buyer, listed by name, and is guaranteed a commission if the house sells to that buyer.
