@Mike Montenegro Great job!

@Mike Montenegro In Belize, listing agreements don’t have a legally fixed length—it’s negotiable between the seller and the agent. However, the common practice internationally is anywhere from 3 to 6 months, sometimes extended to 12 months for unique or harder-to-sell properties legalclarity.... For rookie agents: At DAYSPRING Realty, we’ve always pushed for 12-month exclusive listing agreements. This longer term gives us the stability to market effectively, invest in advertising, and protect our commission. Even if another agent—or the seller themselves—brings in the buyer, the agreement ensures we still earn at least half of the agreed commission. This approach builds trust, protects your effort, and ensures you’re compensated fairly while giving the seller consistent professional representation.
