Contracts
A Florida listing agreement expires before the property is sold. The seller then sells directly to a buyer the broker introduced during the listing period. This 'protection period' clause means the broker may:
ANot claim any commission since the listing has expired
BStill be owed a commission if the sale occurs within the protection period specified in the listing agreement✓ Correct
CSue the seller only if the buyer paid full price
DOnly be owed a commission if the broker had a buyer representation agreement
Explanation
Most listing agreements contain an override (protection period or extender) clause. If the seller sells to a buyer who was shown the property or whose name was registered with the seller during the listing period, and the sale occurs within the protection period (typically 90-180 days after expiration), the broker may still be owed a commission.
