Listings of real property of the mandatory types listed below, which are listed subject to a real estate broker’s license and are located within the Mandatory-Listing Area of the Multiple Listing Service, and are taken by Participants* must be submitted to the Triad Multiple Listing Service, Inc. (hereinafter called the “Service” or “MLS”) by entry into the on-line system and noticed to all Participants within one (1) calendar day after the later of the effective date or the marketing date shown on the listing agreement.
The listing agreement must include the seller’s written exclusive authorization to submit the agreement to the Service.

The exclusive right-to-sell listing contract is the form of listing where the seller grants the Participant exclusive authorization to market the property to the public (as that expression is defined in Section 1.01) as the seller’s agent. The exclusive agency listing contract grants the Participant exclusive authorization to market the property to the public (as that expression is defined in Section 1.01) as the seller’s agent, but also reserves to the seller the general right to sell the property on an unlimited or restrictive basis.
