Oklahoma License Law

Oklahoma's OREC requires that listing agreements include an expiration date because:

AAll listings automatically expire after 6 months by law
BThe expiration date establishes the period during which the broker is entitled to earn a commission and prevents endless exclusive listings that trap sellers✓ Correct
CMLS rules require specific terms for all listings
DOREC charges higher fees for shorter listings

Explanation

Listing agreements must have a definite expiration date to protect sellers from being indefinitely bound to an agent who is not performing. A listing without an expiration date would be unenforceable in Oklahoma.
