Lately we've been noticing a lot of 12-month listing contracts in the Madison area, but we would generally advise you not to sign such a long listing agreement. If your listing agent is pushing you to sign a year-long contract, then that's a sign that they're not feeling confident in their ability to sell your home. And the last thing you want is to be locked into a long contract while your home sits on the market.
A much more reasonable time period is 2 to 6 months. Assuming you and your agent have a solid plan and a good working relationship, a few weeks to a few months should give you all the time you need to experience a successful sale.
We're always available to meet with you and help you plan for your future. Just reach out to your favorite Mad City Dream Homes realtor to begin the conversation. In the meantime, check out our blog for many more home-selling tips in the weeks and months ahead.
