In order to put your home on the market, legal documentation will come into play. * The most important of these is the listing agreement, which is a contract between you and my brokerage. Remax associates. * The second major form we'll fill out is the MLS data input form for entering your home onto the Multiple Listing Service ( Realtor.ca )
Listing Contract

MLS Data Input Form

List what stays and what goes under inclusions and exclusions. * Provide information about annual property taxes, and note any easements, right of way or encroachments against the property
Other Forms
In addition to those two forms, there are other forms so that your preferences about showings, offer dates and the like are all spelled out in writing. These documents are binding for both of us, so we'll go over them vary carefully before you sign anything. Please see a sampling of the forms on my website under ( Real estate forms ) so you'll know what to expect. And of course, you'll get copies of all the signed documents for you records.
