Both this agreement and the Listing and Marketing Agreement shall be considered integrated and mutually enforceable. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this agreement and the Listing and Marketing Agreement, the provisions of the Listing and Marketing Agreement shall take precedence unless otherwise specified herein.

This agreement complies with all federal, state, and local laws, including but not limited to the Fair Housing Act. EXIT Realty Group does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, or any other protected class.
