In Florida, a seller must be provided a signed, legible, true, and correct copy of the listing agreement within 24 hours of obtaining the written listing agreement. This requirement is found in Section 475.25(1)(r), Florida Statutes.
The 24-hour clock begins when the broker/licensee obtains the written listing agreement (i.e., after it has been properly signed by the seller(s)). In practice, the safest approach is to provide the fully executed copy immediately once all required signatures are obtained.
If the broker signs the listing agreement, the seller should receive the fully executed version within that 24-hour period.
Emailing a PDF of the fully executed listing agreement satisfies the requirement, provided the seller actually receives a legible copy.
Failure to provide the copy within 24 hours is a licensing issue that can subject the licensee to discipline by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC).
Make sure you are filling in the returned to seller portion of the listing agreement.
