Which type of listing agreement does NOT have to be in writing?

  1. Exclusive agency listing

  2. Exclusive right-to-sell listing

  3. Open listing

  4. An agent representing a landlord renting rooms on a week-to-week basis

The correct answer is: An agent representing a landlord renting rooms on a week-to-week basis

An exclusive agency listing and an exclusive right-to-sell listing both require a written agreement between the seller and the listing agent. An open listing does not require a written agreement, but it is not the only type of listing agreement that does not have to be in writing. An agent representing a landlord renting rooms on a week-to-week basis operates under a verbal agreement, making it the correct answer as it does not have to be in writing.
