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