Answers to Common Questions About “Coming Soon” Listings

Some multiple listing services have added an option for brokers to list properties as coming soon, and many Texas REALTORS® have questions about that option’s effect on their day-to-day practice of real estate.

Read Texas REALTOR® magazine for the answers to these questions:

2. Can a broker list property in the MLS as coming soon without a listing agreement?

3. How long can a property be listed as coming soon in the MLS?

4. Can a listing broker show a coming soon home to one agent but not others?

5. If the seller allows one agent to show the property, does that mean she has to allow all agents?

6. Can a coming soon property go under contract before going active in the MLS?
