The Exclusive Agency Listing Agreement is a crucial document in New Zealand real estate transactions, used when a property owner wishes to engage a single real estate agency to market and sell their property. This agreement type is governed by the Real Estate Agents Act 2008 and the Professional Conduct and Client Care Rules 2012, requiring specific disclosures and terms to protect all parties involved. The document is typically used at the commencement of a property sale process and includes essential details such as property information, commission structures, marketing plans, and the exclusive agency period. It provides the agency with the security of being the sole appointed agent while ensuring the vendor receives committed professional service. The agreement is particularly important in New Zealand's real estate market, where exclusive agency arrangements are common practice and require careful documentation to comply with local regulations.
