Article II - Selling Procedures
Section 2.0 Showings And Negotiations
Appointments for Showings of a Listed Property and negotiations with the Seller for the purchase of a Listed Property shall be conducted through the Listing Broker, except under the following circumstances:
(a) the Listing Broker gives the Cooperating Broker specific authority to show the Listed Property and/or to negotiate directly with the Seller, or
(b) notwithstanding reasonable and diligent efforts by the Cooperating Broker, the Cooperating Broker has been unable to contact the Listing Broker or an authorized representative of the Listing Broker.
A Listing Broker must make arrangements (including, where necessary, a procedure to be followed if a particular broker or salesperson is unavailable) to show a Listed Property to Cooperating Brokers and to present written offers to the Seller as soon as possible.
If a Seller desires to have an identified property Listed in the System, but desires to have Showings of the Listed Property deferred until a date following the Filing of the Listing, then, as a condition to such deferral, the Seller shall execute and deliver to the Listing Broker a Request for Deferral of Showing Form with respect to that identified property. The Listing Broker shall deliver the executed Request for Deferral of Showing Form to the Service before the Deadline for Filing with respect to the property to which the Form relates. The Property Data Form Filed by the Listing Broker for that property shall state, in its “Firm Remarks” field, (i) that there is to be a deferral of Showings for that property and (ii) the date to which Showings are deferred. That deferred Showing date may be no more than seven (7) calendar days after the Deadline for Filing with respect to the property to which the Property Data Form relates. Whether or not the Listing Broker makes timely delivery to the Service of an executed Request for Deferral of Showing Form, if such Form has been executed and delivered by the Seller, and if the listing Broker Files a Property Data Form with respect to the property whose Showing is to be deferred, there shall be no Showings of that Listed Property by the Listing Broker or by any Cooperating Broker until the date certain set forth in the Seller’s Request for Deferral of Showings Form.
The Request for Deferral of Showing Form shall be in a form acceptable to the Service and shall be executed by the Seller of the property identified in the Form.
