Which agreement ensures the broker gets a commission regardless of who sells the property?

The Exclusive Right-to-Sell Listing agreement is a contract that guarantees the broker will receive a commission no matter who sells the property, whether it's the broker, another broker, or the owner themselves. This type of agreement provides the broker with the assurance of compensation for their efforts in marketing and selling the property, thus incentivizing them to invest time and resources into the sale.

Under this agreement, the broker has the exclusive right to represent the seller and market the property, and they can work with any prospective buyers. The key feature of this listing is that it secures the broker's commission, creating a strong motivation for effective marketing and negotiation strategies.

In contrast, other types of agreements, like the Exclusive Agency Listing, allow the owner to sell the property themselves without incurring a commission if successful, while an Open Listing does not provide exclusive rights and can lead to a more fragmented approach with multiple agents involved. The Multiple Listing Service is not an agreement but rather a platform through which brokers can share listings, so it doesn’t guarantee commission directly to the broker. Thus, the Exclusive Right-to-Sell Listing is pivotal for ensuring the broker's commission regardless of the outcome of a sale.
