AMandatory MLS participation under NAR's cooperation policy, because any property marketed publicly must be submitted within one business day

CRequiring the seller to post the property on at least three public real estate websites within 48 hours of listing
DGranting any cooperating broker the authority to negotiate price and terms and bind the seller to a purchase contract

Why The seller retaining the right to sell without owing a commission and authorizing multiple brokers, with commission only owed to the broker who is the procuring cause Is Correct

Answer B: The seller retaining the right to sell without owing a commission and authorizing multiple brokers, with commission only owed to the broker who is the procuring cause

An open listing allows the seller to list with multiple brokers simultaneously. The seller owes a commission only to the broker who is the procuring cause of the sale, and the seller retains the right to sell directly without owing any commission.

Exam Tip: Agency

Agency questions are among the most tested on the exam. Focus on the difference between client and customer, and memorize the fiduciary duties (OLD CAR). Watch for questions that try to blur the line between a general agent and a special agent.
