OPEN LISTING AUTHORISATION
A non-exclusive authority to market a property for sale
__________
1. Authority to market
1.1 I own the property at __________, in __________: __________ ("the Property").
2. This listing is not exclusive
2.1 I may give the same authority to other agents, and I may sell the Property to a buyer I find myself without owing you anything.
2.2 You must not describe yourself, in any advertisement, signboard or conversation, as my sole or exclusive agent.
3. When commission is payable
3.2 You are the effective cause of the sale only if you first introduced the buyer to the Property, and that introduction led to the sale without the buyer being lost and then found again through someone else.
3.3 If two agents claim the same buyer, the agent who first introduced the buyer to the Property, as shown by a dated viewing record or a dated written introduction sent to me, is the effective cause. Only one commission is payable on the sale.
3.4 No commission is payable to you on a sale to a buyer I found myself, or to a buyer another agent introduced to me first.
4. What you may and may not do
4.1 You may show the Property at times I agree. You will keep a dated record of every person you show it to, and send me that person's name before or at the viewing.
4.2 You have no authority to sign anything for me, to accept money on my behalf, or to agree a price.
5. Withdrawing this authority
5.2 Within 7 days after it ends, you will remove every advertisement of the Property you placed, and send me a dated list of the people you introduced. Commission on a later sale to a person on that list is payable only if you were the effective cause under clause 3.
