is free to deal with persons other than these named prospective Buyer(s) and/or other brokers.
REALTOR® is not authorized to act as a Transaction Broker as REALTOR® is already employed pursuant to a written agency agreement with the
Buyer(s). Since this authorization does not establish an agency relationship between Owner and REALTOR® , dual agency is not possible and is there-
fore, not authorized. Owner authorizes REALTOR® to cooperate with, to offer and pay compensation to other designated brokers acting as subagents
®

REALTOR® a commission of % of the total sale, lease, or exchange price if the Owner enters into a contract to sell, lease, or exchange the
property to said Buyer(s) by 11:59 p.m. of , at which time this agreement terminates. Owner hereby directs the
closing agent to pay the fee from Owner's funds at closing. Owner acknowledges that such payment does not create any agency relationship between
Owner and REALTOR®.
Unless otherwise agreed, this agreement will also terminate upon receipt of written notice that Owner has entered into a bona fide exclusive listing
agreement with another REALTOR®.
The total sale, lease, or exchange price shall be determined as follows: (1) in the case of a sale, it shall be the total sale price for the property, without
reduction for closing adjustments, points, or other charges; (2) in the case of a lease, it shall be the total lease payments due to the Owner by the
tenant during the term of the lease, without adjustment for utilities, taxes, and other charges which may be imposed on the tenant; and (3) in the case
of an exchange, it shall be the total value of the consideration received by the undersigned Owner, including, but not limited to, real property and cash.
In the event the undersigned Owner effects the terms of ownership in the said real estate by means of delivering stock in a corporation, the
commission shall be a lien on said stock.
Owner understands that the law requires disclosure of all known defects and material facts adversely affecting the value or desirability of the
property and that failure to make such disclosure may result in civil liability. Owner represents that, except as disclosed in any Owner's Disclosure
Statement, Owner has no knowledge of, and has not notified the REALTOR® of any defects or other material facts concerning the property. If Owner
later learns of any other defects or material facts, Owner shall immediately sign and deliver to the REALTOR ® a revised Seller's Disclosure Statement.
Owner understands that the REALTOR ®, prospective buyers and other real estate brokers may rely upon the Seller's Disclosure Statement and the
assurances by Owner in this paragraph.
After the close of the sale, Owner authorizes REALTOR®to provide property information and sale data to the Mid America Regional Information
Systems and its members, and authorizes REALTOR® to use the undersigned Owner's names and property information for advertising in connection
with this sale.
