In Texas, is it possible to have a listing agreement without an Executive Right to Sell contract?
I have had horrible luck with Real Estate agents and brokers this last year and have been told conflicting things about this.  Im trying to sell a property and have been under two Executive Right to Sell contracts with two different agencies.  Both experiences have left me jaded.  I was under the impression I could have multiple agencies have my listing up without an ERS contract, but I have one agency telling me that in the state of Texas that is not legal and they must have an ERS contract in order to list me.  Currently the broker I previously had a contract with has me listed, and another agent who told me it was possible to do it without being under that contract is working with a potential buyer who I'm sure has the interest but not quite convinced has the buying power.  And I have another agency courting my business and asking me to sign an ERS contract saying doing it any other way is illegal.  *sigh*  So... What is the truth?
