Open listing used in commercial or vacant land real estate. the only person who gets paid a commission is the broker who produces the buyer. Seller can listing agreements with any real estate brokerages. If the seller brings in the buyer then no one gets paid a commission. (Always disclosed agency or transaction broker). Specific start and end date
Exclusive agency listing most common listing (works best for everyone) exclusive listing with that agency. who ever brings in the buyer that person gets a piece of the commission. seller could sell the property to someone they find with out paying the agent.
Exclusive right to sell (best deal for the realtor/broker) watch language in this listing in order to distinguish from exclusive agency listing. In small print you may find that "the broker has the exclusive right to sell", which is the best deal for the broker. Broker will get commission regardless of who sells the property. If the property is sold to a spouse the broker still gets the commission. the only time this becomes an issue for the seller,if they have to find their own buyer.
