The listing broker, AAA Realty, shows a house to the Smiths two days before the listing
expires. The listing has a 30-day holdover period, no box is checked in the clause. The
buyers call the broker back four days after seeing the house and want to buy it. The
sellers have listed the house with another broker, Rogers Realty. The sellers accept the
offer of the Smith's to buy the house.Which of the following is true? - Answers -AAA
,gets the Buyers commission (for representing the buyer) and Rogers Realty gets the
listing commission (for representing the seller).
The new listing terminated the holdover period. Therefore AAA cannot claim a listing
side commission, Rogers Realty is going to receive the listing commission. However,
since AAA is now representing the buyer, they will be entitled to the buy side
commission. There is a check box in the Holdover Clause which would have allowed the
Holdover clause to survive re-listing the property. Since this box was not checked, the
default is that the Clause would not survive re-listing the home.
The Holdover Period says that a listing broker may be entitled to a commission after the
expiration of a listing contract for the period of time specified in the clause if: 1) the
broker negotiated with the buyer during the listing period and 2) the broker submitted
the name of this buyer in writing to the seller. Although the protection is for a negotiated
time after the listing expires; it can terminate early if the property is re-listed by another
agent and the "Shall Not" box is checked, meaning the old listing agent "shall not" be
owed a commission if another brokerage firm has earned one. If neither the "Shall" or
"Shall Not" be owned a commission" box is checked - the default is "Shall Not". See
"Holdover Period" in the "When Earned" clause of an Exclusive Right to Sell listing
agreement.
