How a Commercial Real Estate Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a Listing Agreement in Pennsylvania

In 2023, a business in Pennsylvania sought assistance with a listing agreement for industrial land. The client, located out of state, was looking to hire a local commercial realtor and needed guidance to ensure that their interests were protected in the agreement. Key concerns included confirming proper marketing of the property, stipulating that no commission would be owed if the sale did not proceed, and incorporating terms that would allow for release from the contract in case of unsatisfactory performance by the realtor. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $49.50 to $750, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of less than one week.
