Do I need a Listing Agreement to list my own property in the MLS?

Case:  The Listing Agent is the Seller/Owner of the subject property.

1. If the Listing Agent is also the Listing Brokerage Firm's owner, HICMLS does not require a signed Listing Contract.

2. All other cases - Listing Contract is required in order to list in the MLS.

This is because the firm owns the listing; thus, the agent must have a signed agreement with their Brokerage Firm.  And, MLS has a field that discloses the type of contract for the listing:

• ER - Exclusive Right-To-Sell
• EA - Exclusive Agency

In general, when there is a Listing Contract - an Amendment form is used to change contract terms.

Note:  The HiCentral MLS Change Form is a request form submitted to the MLS Client Care Team for data changes.  It is not an Amendment form, thus please DO NOT use the MLS Change Form to amend contracts, regardless of whether or not you own the property.
