NO, it is not the standard contract. BOTH The Properties of The Villages and the Realtors Association of Lake and Sumter Counties standard contract allow the listing firm to take 50% of the earnest money for a offer where the purchased backs out, for their own enrichment.

Leave it to a contracting guy to actually read the contract.
