Is it possible to list my property for sale without entering into a listing agreement?
1. Listing Only on Houzeo:
Yes, you can list your property on Houzeo without a traditional listing agreement. Houzeo offers a simplified listing process that doesn't require a formal agreement. When you list on Houzeo, you're essentially using their platform to market your property directly to potential buyers.
2. Listing on the MLS Through Houzeo
No, you cannot list your property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) without a listing agreement. The MLS is a cooperative database used by real estate agents, and it requires a formal agreement between the seller (you) and the listing agent or brokerage. Houzeo can help you connect with a local agent who can assist with the MLS listing process and draft the necessary agreement. You can find more information about what is a listing agreement and what is included in a listing agreement here.
