Agency

What is a 'non-exclusive' or 'open' listing in Oregon?

AA listing where only OREA-approved agents may show the property
BAn oral or written agreement where the seller may list with multiple brokers and owes a commission only to the broker who produces the buyer✓ Correct
CA listing without a specified price
DA listing available on multiple MLS systems simultaneously

Explanation

An open (non-exclusive) listing authorizes multiple brokers to market the property simultaneously. A commission is owed only to the broker who actually produces the buyer — not to all brokers. The seller also retains the right to sell on their own without paying any commission. Open listings provide less incentive for brokers to invest heavily in marketing.
