Headline & Summary
Concise headline and short summary highlighting key attributes, property type, and a one-line callout for primary selling points without opinionated claims.

Properly prepared pages reduce disputes, speed showings and make offers easier to process while preserving required seller disclosures and signature history.

The listing agent or broker signs to accept listing authority and to confirm broker obligations. Their license and brokerage affiliation must be stated, and signing creates agency duties in most states.
The seller (individual or entity) must sign to grant listing authority and authorize disclosures. If the seller is an entity, an authorized officer or agent with evidentiary proof must sign on the entity's behalf.
