Listing agreement question

[Michelle Kasper]

I was just wondering how everyone is structuring their listing agreements that they submit to the bank? We used to have our agent sign a pocket listing agreement with the homeowner that we would than submit to the bank with our short sale packet. I am a little nervous about doing that now because of all the litigation going on.

We are considering paying another agent 1% commission to sign a listing agreement with the homeowner so that we can submit that to the bank and than have our realtor actually list the property for us.

I am just trying to find out the cleanest way to go about filling out the listing agreement. I would really like to see what everyone else is doing.

Thanks
