LEGAL FORMS TIP: "Effective Date" on Listing Contract
Listing Agents: Protect yourself with the dates you put on your listing agreements! It does not matter when a seller fills out the listing paperwork, you do not have a legal listing until the "effective date" at the top of the GHAR Exclusive Right to Sell Agreement.  

SmartMLS claims that some agents are confusing " effective listing date " with the " go active " date on the Delayed Listing Addendum. If you have a need to use the SmartMLS "Delayed Listing Addendum" because a property isn't ready to be shown and marketed yet but you want to secure the listing, then your "effective listing date" on the Exclusive Right to Sell should be an earlier date than the "go active date" on the Delayed Listing Addendum.
