The agent who brings a ready, willing, and able buyer to a seller is commonly called the?

1. Procuring cause

2. Executing agent

3. Managing partner

4. Closing agent

The correct answer is: Procuring cause

A "procuring cause" is a legal term used to describe the agent who played a crucial role in bringing the buyer and seller together. This agent is responsible for initiating the sale process and facilitating the transaction between the two parties. The other options listed are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the role of the agent in question. A "executing agent" typically refers to a person appointed to carry out specific tasks, but does not necessarily apply in the context of real estate transactions. "Managing partner" also does not accurately describe the role of the agent in facilitating a sale. A "closing agent" is typically a title or closing company that handles the final steps of a real estate transaction but is not necessarily responsible for bringing the buyer and seller together.
