What type of listing agreement allows Seller A to sell her property without owing a commission if she does it without Broker B's help?

  1. An exclusive agency listing

  2. An exclusive right-to-sell listing

  3. An open listing

  4. A pocket listing

The correct answer is: An exclusive agency listing

An exclusive agency listing allows Seller A to sell her property without owing a commission if she does it without Broker B's help. This makes B the exclusive agent, meaning B is the only one who can earn commission on the sale. In an exclusive right-to-sell listing, even if Seller A sells the property without B's help, B is still entitled to the commission. An open listing allows multiple brokers to sell the property and whoever brings the buyer receives the commission, making it less advantageous for Broker B. A pocket listing is an informal arrangement where the property is not listed on the MLS and is kept confidential, so it is not relevant in this scenario.
