Answer:

Yes, the agency is valid. Oral agreements are valid in many jurisdictions, and the agent is legally bound to the terms of the agreement. However, in order for the agency to be legally enforceable, the agreement must be supported by consideration. In this case, the consideration would be the agent's agreement to act as the agent for the sale.
