This page needs attorney and BIC review before it ships. What follows is scope and structure, not approved final language.
Not final — pending attorney and BIC review
Every section below is a structural placeholder. Do not treat any text on this page as reviewed seller-agency advertising copy. See Compliance & Launch Gate 2 in the Seller's Brief wiki doc and buyers-brief-playbook CLAUDE.md §19.
What a listing agreement is
Pending attorney review
A written agreement between the seller and the brokerage firm, not the individual agent. Structural framing only -- final wording pending counsel.
What Horizon does under it
Pending attorney review
A plain statement of services. No superlatives, no outcome promises -- same standard as BuyerRepresentation.astro’s own compliance rule 4. Not yet drafted.
Compensation
Pending attorney review
Negotiable, stated in the agreement, and separate from any decision about compensating a buyer’s broker. No dollar figures, ranges, or percentages may appear here without counsel sign-off, matching BuyerRepresentation.astro’s compliance rule 1.
Duration and termination
Pending attorney review
The term, and how either side ends it. Not yet drafted.
Agency in North Carolina
Pending attorney review
North Carolina permits dual and designated agency, and what those mean for a seller materially changes the duties owed. This is the single most legally sensitive section in this component and MUST be drafted by counsel, not adapted from any other page’s copy.
The Working With Real Estate Agents Disclosure
Pending attorney review
Links to this site’s own disclosure PDF (wwreaHref prop). Verify whether the seller-facing disclosure is the same document as any buyer-facing one already published, or whether a distinct seller-facing version is required, before this section ships.
Fair housing
Pending attorney review
Links to this site’s equal-housing page. No new fair-housing copy is written here -- the existing page is the single source.
Not legal advice. This page explains North Carolina real estate brokerage practice for education only. It is not legal advice, and reading it does not create an agency or client relationship with Horizon Real Estate Group, LLC or any broker. This page has not yet been reviewed by counsel — do not rely on it.
