What is a 'non-exclusive right to sell' listing versus an 'exclusive right to sell' listing in Nevada?
AThere is no difference in Nevada; both pay the same commission
BAn exclusive right to sell guarantees the broker a commission regardless of who sells the property during the listing period; a non-exclusive (open) listing pays the broker only if they are the procuring cause — sellers can work with multiple brokers or sell themselves✓ Correct
CNon-exclusive listings are prohibited by NREC in Nevada
DAn exclusive right to sell requires a minimum 12-month term in Nevada
Explanation
An exclusive right to sell listing means the broker is owed a commission if the property sells during the listing period, regardless of who procures the buyer — even if the seller finds their own buyer. This gives the broker maximum incentive to invest in marketing. A non-exclusive (open) listing allows multiple brokers and the seller to find buyers simultaneously; only the procuring cause broker earns a commission. Exclusive listings provide brokers the most protection and are most common in Nevada residential practice.
