The brokerage owner or an authorized officer signs listing agreements and MLS access contracts. Signing authority should be documented in corporate records and match the name on the contract to avoid enforcement or cancellation issues.
A licensed manager or designated broker may sign on the brokerage’s behalf if the corporate records or internal authorization explicitly delegate signing authority; ensure the signer's title and authority are stated in the document.
