IRES MLS: Come Home to Colorado 
The flowchart has a starting point that is confusing, it is labeled “Listing Agreement Signed” which indicates the start date is the date the Seller signs the listing contract. What should prevail is Section 3.7 “Listing Period” start date. A contract can have up to 3 dates: the date the broker drafted it; the date the listing period begins in Section 3.7, and the date the Seller signs it.
Thanks for the comment! You’re correct. IRES policy is set for the date of section 3.7 -OR- the date of the final signature.
