Seller Notes卖房话题
Before signing, read the listing agreement details签卖房协议前，先看清这些细节
Before an Ottawa home is marketed, the seller and brokerage should be clear on what is being agreed to. The listing agreement is not just paperwork for the sign and photos. It sets the relationship, the services, the fee terms and the timeline for the sale process.
Check the relationship and scope
The RECO Information Guide summary hosted by RE/MAX Hallmark explains that representation agreements should be in writing. It also says sellers should review details such as the representative, the specific property or scope covered, the services included, payment terms, termination terms, expiry date and any holdover clause.
Services should be specific
Ask what is included before the home goes live: pricing review, preparation advice, photo and showing plan, marketing exposure, buyer feedback, offer review, negotiation support and closing coordination. If something matters to you, it should be discussed before assumptions become frustration.
Make one clear next step
Before signing, write down your preferred launch timing, privacy concerns, showing limits, minimum notice, expected services and questions about fees or holdover. Then review the agreement carefully and ask for plain-language answers before the listing is activated.
房子正式做市场推广前，卖家和 brokerage 之间要先讲清楚。listing agreement 不只是为了插牌、拍照和上 MLS 的文件。它会写明代表关系、服务内容、费用安排和卖房时间线。
先看代表关系和范围
RE/MAX Hallmark 网站上的 RECO Information Guide 摘要说明，representation agreement 应该是书面的。卖家签字前要看清：谁代表你、协议覆盖哪套房或哪个范围、包含哪些服务、费用怎样计算、什么情况下可以结束协议、到期日，以及是否有 holdover clause。
服务内容要说具体
上市前可以先问清楚：定价评估、上市准备、拍照和看房安排、市场曝光、买家反馈、offer 审核、谈判支持和 closing 配合，哪些包含在服务里。如果某件事对你很重要，最好在签字前讲明白，不要等产生误会后才补。
下一步先列问题
签字前，先写下你希望的上市时间、隐私顾虑、看房限制、提前通知时间、期待的服务，以及关于费用或 holdover 的问题。然后逐条看协议，请经纪用普通话或英文把不清楚的地方解释明白，再决定是否启动上市。
