Which of the following is a key characteristic of an exclusive right to sell listing agreement?

AThe broker is guaranteed a commission if the property sells during the listing term.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

An exclusive right to sell listing gives one broker the sole authority to market and sell a property. The broker is entitled to a commission no matter who procures the buyer, even if the seller finds the buyer independently during the listing period commission payment upon sale within the term---matching option A. Option B is false (that applies to exclusive agency); C applies to open or exclusive-agency; and D conflicts with the exclusivity provision.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like B could be correct since I recall something about sellers being able to sell without owing a commission in certain agreements.

I think the answer might be A because I remember that exclusive listings guarantee a commission to the broker.
