It has called to my attention a proliferation of selling listing contracts which they do not have a specific expiration date. This is in violating with the principles of a listing contract which has to have a specific starting date and a specific expiration date. Some unscrupulous agents are using this practice to retain the client for ever, even though if they do not perform with the client. Listing contracts without a definitive expiration date should be void and null to protect the interest of the seller. This is a critical topic and I would like to open it for discussion!
