What happens if a seller negotiates a sale directly after a broker introduces a prospective buyer?

The seller does not owe the broker a commission.
The seller owes the broker half the commission.
The seller owes the broker the commission.
The broker must find another buyer.

The correct answer is: The seller owes the broker the commission.

If a seller negotiates a sale directly after a broker introduces a prospective buyer, the seller is still obligated to pay the broker the commission for the introduction of the buyer. Option A is incorrect because the broker has already done their job in introducing the prospective buyer. Option B is incorrect because the broker is entitled to the full commission for their role in the sale. Option D is incorrect because the broker is not solely responsible for finding buyers and their role in the sale does not end with the introduction.
