How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review a Listing Agreement in Texas

In 2024, a personal client in Texas sought assistance with reviewing a listing agreement related to the sale of a property. The client aimed to ensure that the marketing agreement did not contain any unfavorable clauses or language that could be problematic, as they planned to engage a company to submit offers for market value while minimizing closing costs. With the understanding that a substantial portion of expenses would be reduced, the client prioritized a careful examination of the agreement to protect their interests. As a result, the client received six proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $350 to $799, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of one week.
