DCan sue the seller for breach of the original listing agreement
Explanation
After a listing expires, the original broker has no automatic right to a commission on subsequent sales. However, a safety (protection) clause in the original listing agreement preserves the broker's commission rights for a specified period after expiration if the buyer was introduced by the original broker during the listing period.
