Michigan Real Estate Exam Practice Question

An owner lists with Broker A but then sells to a buyer found by Builder B. Which statement is true?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Broker A is entitled to a commission because the seller engaged their services to market the property, establishing a contractual obligation. Even though the buyer was found by Builder B, Broker A fulfilled their role in the transaction by listing the property.

Option B is incorrect; Builder B is not entitled to a commission unless there is a separate agreement with the seller.

Option C is misleading, as Broker A's entitlement to commission does not automatically require sharing with Builder B unless previously agreed upon.

Option D is also incorrect; while the seller can choose whom to pay, it does not negate Broker A's entitlement based on their listing agreement.
