In an exclusive agency listing, when does the broker NOT receive a commission?

In an exclusive agency listing, the broker does not receive a commission if the owner sells the property themselves. This type of listing agreement allows the property owner to sell the property independently without incurring a commission to the broker, as long as the broker has not facilitated the sale. The agreement emphasizes that the broker has the exclusive right to represent the seller in finding a buyer, but the seller retains the right to sell on their own.

The other situations mentioned do not lead to the broker being denied a commission. If the broker fails to find a buyer, that is part of their responsibilities, and not finding a buyer doesn’t negate their right to compensation if the sale is completed by other means under the terms of the agreement. When a listing agreement expires, this simply means the period during which the broker had exclusive rights has ended, but it doesn't affect commissions on prior agreements. Listing on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) enhances visibility and does not affect the broker's commission situation unless the property is sold by the owner directly.
