I will tell sellers they can cancel at any time if they are not satisfied with my services. I also reserve the same right because if I am micro managed by my sellers then I want out too.

Can you think of any professional that will start working for you under a contract that means nothing because you can cancel any time and waste the professionals time and money?? (That just does not happen, except in real estate).

 So seller can cancel when: 

• Someone else will list it for less 
• The cousin just got licensed
• You are not bringing enough buyers to the house
• You dare tell them to clean up the house
• The offer was not high enough

Geez...the responses only tell me that agents will sell out their souls to get a listing.

Mixed message this language you mention. A listing is an agreement to sell. Canceling is another agreement...May the two never meet

I don't write it in the listing contract but I do tell that to the sellers.  Never had one cancel a contract.  I'll have to think about Michael Setunsky 's language.

Tony and Suzanne Marriott, Associate Brokers Yes, 1) mutual agreement, if it just doesn't work out and 2) after 50% of the listing period is completed for any reason. Should the seller want out prior to listing expiration, I will ask them to pay for all marketing expenses.

Not unless specifically asked to.

I don't include that language in writing.  

I don't and the reason why is we commit to above and beyond marketing and advertising a seller wanting a prenup before we launch is a red flag to me that it's not a good fit.  

The CO contracts have a standard "Right of Parties to Cancel" clause for both seller/buyer and the agent. These preset rights are not "for any reason", though I think I'll be sticking with the standard language until I encounter a client who makes me rethink it.

I don't normally, but just did with a client who gives me lots of business. They are considering leasing it out, in the meantime, I'm trying to sell it quickly. And it's turning out not to be that easy for some quirky reasons.

yes....we have that statement.... and if we didn't, and they wanted to be cut loose, there would never be a problem....it's not happened...ever...

*This Agreement may be cancelled by either party with 7 days notice*
is is our listing agreements.
We clearly and in writing communicate our marking plan and what services we intend to provide to reach our mutual goal. We also have requirements of the seller. We keep each other honest. Or it's over.

I add it as a stip in my listing agreement that the seller may cancel for any reason.  I have gotten 5 listings lately just letting the seller know they may cancel at any time.

Having an early release provision is a good business practice.

PAR listing agreement does not give seller option to cancel for any reason.

Never. It's already in the RPA so no need for it, although it's not "any" reason.

I do include that language.  I also include that I also can cancel for any or no reason.  Works well with expired listings who do not wish to be tied down to a long listing agreement.

"for any reason' is part of the State Contract. The agent can fill in the blanks if expenses are to be recovered. Those franchises presenting proprietary contracts are not nearly so generous.

To make the best of it, I call it their 'Easy Out GUARANTEE.'

'If your situation changes, you are not trapped."

Links? Read Cancellation section on the State of Florida Listing Agreement.

It's included in our state contracts.  There is a section where one can be charged if they do so..  Some agents do but most don't

I would not give sellers an out for "any reason", that is way too vague.

while my listing agreement does not specifically say that I allow cancelation at any time for any reason.

We never want to keep a client who does not want us, so yes we allow them to cancel, but first they must pay the bill.

No.  I do not modify the state's contracts.  If it is a concern, I address it on a case by case basis.

I use the state forms and this language is not included. If the seller asked for it I would accommodate and add a clause or addendum. 

No such written language, but we discuss concept.

I have a guarantee of service that I put in mine.

I do not use this to promote getting listings and I only use it if I feel I really want the listing and the sellers are jumpy

What Jack Lewitz said. By the same token, if they really want out of the listing agreement, I will let them out. I'm not holding anyone hostage who doesn't want to work with me. But yes, I do promote my "Easy Exit Listing Agreement" as part of my USP.

I'm with Scott Godzyk
