When an Arizona listing expires and the seller re-lists with a different broker, which buyer retains entitlement to the original broker's commission under a protection clause?

AAny buyer who personally toured the property during the original listing period, regardless of whether their name was submitted to the seller
BA buyer whose name was submitted to the seller in writing by the original broker during the listing period, if they purchase within the protection periodCorrect
CNo buyer—the protection clause terminates automatically when the seller signs a listing agreement with a new brokerage
DAll buyers who submitted written purchase offers during the original listing period, whether or not the seller accepted them

Why A buyer whose name was submitted to the seller in writing by the original broker during the listing period, if they purchase within the protection period Is Correct

Answer B: A buyer whose name was submitted to the seller in writing by the original broker during the listing period, if they purchase within the protection period

A protection (safety/carryover) clause in a listing agreement protects the original broker's commission if a buyer whose name was submitted in writing during the listing period purchases within a specified period after expiration.

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.
