Answers About Multiple Listing Options for Sellers

Who has the authority to decide whether to delay marketing of a listing?

A seller must authorize their listing agent to delay marketing of their property. Listing agents representing sellers who choose to delay the public marketing of their listing must obtain from their seller a signed disclosure documenting the seller's informed consent to waive the benefits of immediate public marketing through IDX and syndication. Seller disclosure is required for both delayed marketing exempt listings and office exclusive exempt listings.
