Broker's Protection Period

  What is the maximum amount of days a realator can hold you during the protection period?
 
  It sounds as if you're referring to the clause that state the agent (Realtor) would be due a commission if the property were later sold to someone who first saw it while it was listed. 
Like most other provisions of a listing contract, the length of itme on this one can be whatever the seller and the agent agree on. Like the amount of commission, it is subject to negotiation.
