Rules/Laws about Listing Property within 24 hrs of signing a contract

I just recently got my real estate license and through a referal now have a client who wants to list their property. This is in Worcester, Massachusetts. I have met the client at the property and they are planning on doing some clean-up before the property is listed on the MLS. Someone told me that once I have my client sign a contact (Listing Agreement) that I am obligated to list the property on the MLS within 24 hours. Is this true?

Basically, I want to get the client to sign a contract so I can move forward but I am not sure if there is such a requiremnt to list the property 24 hours after signing a contract.

Thanks!

Mike

Talk to your broker.

I believe there is a standard Delayed Listing form or something like that which is basically having the seller sign off on waiving that rule.
