Listing Agreements
Exclusive Right to Sell Listing Agreement
The Exclusive Right to Sell Listing Agreement is the backbone of nearly every residential listing in the United States. It is the contract that formally engages a brokerage to market a seller's property, and — critically — it entitles the listing broker to a commission no matter who procures the buyer, including the seller themselves. That single feature is what distinguishes it from open listings and exclusive agency listings, and it is why virtually every MLS requires an executed exclusive right to sell (or exclusive agency) agreement before a listing can be published.

Termination of Listing Agreement (Mutual Release)
Listings end early for a hundred reasons — the seller changes plans, the relationship sours, the property gets pulled for repairs, the agent changes brokerages. What matters legally is how the engagement ends. An exclusive listing is a bilateral contract: a seller who simply walks away may still owe the commission (or damages) if the broker has performed, and a broker who abandons the listing invites a procuring-cause fight later. A written mutual termination and release is the clean exit that protects both sides and creates certainty about what survives.

Disclosures
Seller Property Condition Disclosure Statement
Most states statutorily require sellers of residential real property to deliver a written property condition disclosure to buyers — and even in "caveat emptor" states, failure to disclose known material defects can support fraud and misrepresentation claims. This comprehensive Seller Property Condition Disclosure Statement gives sellers a structured, defensible way to disclose what they actually know, and gives agents a paper trail showing the disclosure obligation was taken seriously.

Dual Agency Informed Consent Form
Dual agency — one brokerage (or one agent) representing both buyer and seller in the same transaction — is the most heavily regulated conflict of interest in residential real estate. A handful of states ban it outright; the rest permit it only with the informed written consent of both parties, obtained after meaningful disclosure of what the parties are giving up. Get the consent wrong and the consequences stack fast: license discipline, commission forfeiture, and rescission or damages claims grounded in breach of fiduciary duty. Courts have long treated undisclosed dual agency as a fiduciary breach that can void the broker's right to any commission.

Addenda & Amendments
Addendum to Purchase Agreement (Universal)
Deals change after signing — repair credits get negotiated after inspection, closing dates slip, appraisal gaps get bridged, personal property gets added or removed. The clean, enforceable way to document any of it is a written addendum executed by all parties, because nearly every purchase agreement contains an integration/merger clause providing that modifications must be in writing, and the statute of frauds in every state requires material modifications to real estate contracts to be written anyway.

Counteroffer Form
Under black-letter contract law, a counteroffer is a rejection of the original offer plus a new offer — the mirror-image rule means any material change in terms kills the original offer and puts a new one on the table. That doctrine (familiar from classic cases and Restatement (Second) of Contracts §§ 36, 39, 59) is exactly why sloppy counteroffer paperwork creates disputes: parties sign conflicting documents, nobody can tell which terms govern, and deals end up in litigation over whether a contract was ever formed.

Brokerage & Team
Independent Contractor Agreement (Agent–Broker)
The agent–broker relationship in U.S. real estate runs on independent contractor status — and that status is legally fragile if the paperwork is wrong. Federal tax law provides a statutory safe harbor: under 26 U.S.C. § 3508, a licensed real estate agent is treated as a non-employee for federal tax purposes if substantially all compensation is tied to sales output rather than hours worked AND there is a written contract providing the agent will not be treated as an employee for federal tax purposes. No written agreement, no safe harbor. State-level classification (wage law, unemployment, workers' comp) adds another layer — many states have real-estate-specific carve-outs from tests like California's ABC test (see Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 10032), but those carve-outs typically also require a written independent contractor agreement.

Referral Agreement (Broker-to-Broker)
Referral fees are a core revenue stream in real estate — but they are legal only when paid between licensed brokers. Every state's license law prohibits paying referral fees to unlicensed persons, and in transactions involving a federally related mortgage loan, RESPA Section 8 (12 U.S.C. § 2607) prohibits kickbacks and unearned fee-splitting for settlement-service referrals — with an exemption at 12 U.S.C. § 2607(c) that permits cooperative brokerage and referral arrangements between licensed real estate agents and brokers. The practical rule: broker-to-broker referral fees are fine; anything else needs scrutiny. And because a referral fee is a commission-sharing promise, the statute of frauds in most states means an unwritten referral deal is an unenforceable handshake.

Real Estate Team Agreement
Teams are the dominant growth structure in modern residential real estate — and the most common source of intra-brokerage disputes. Who owns the leads? What's the split on a team-generated deal versus an agent's self-generated deal? What happens to the pipeline when a team member leaves? Without a written team agreement, those answers default to memory and goodwill, and both run out quickly when a $30,000 commission is on the table.

Commission Disbursement Authorization (CDA)
The Commission Disbursement Authorization is the short document that makes agents' money move. Signed by the broker (or an authorized manager), the CDA instructs the closing agent — title company, escrow officer, or closing attorney — how to disburse the brokerage's commission at closing: how much to the brokerage, and how much directly to the agent per their split. Because license law in every state requires commissions to be paid to the broker (not directly to a salesperson except as the broker directs), the CDA functions as the broker's written payment direction that lets closing agents cut agent checks at the table without violating that rule.
