Depending on the amount of work put into.  This house I supervised the restoration, landscape, crawl under and got into the attic look for damage, stage. Open house, presented offers. Got some money for 2 months of work (10 hours a week)....

Another deal the mother who hired me. Her son who fought with his relatives had a loan person who sold their home after my involvement. I repaired their fence for free. What can I say?

What?  Where in the contract is that stated?  We are in a business governed by contracts.

What if it was a special property and you did expensive Open Houses  with Caterers and had special brochures printed along with a photo layout for advertising and placed ADs in Expensive Magazines..?

No.  In fact in my listing agreement I always include the following "either the seller or the agent can terminate this agreement at any time for any reason".  I have only had one seller take me up on this.

No, I used to but decide to just move on. Most of them turn their homes into rentals.

If I am to expend any money for promotion that is out of the normal, it will be included in my listing agreement. That agreement will then also spell out what happens if an early termination is requested by either party. Under normal circumstances, if one party wants out, it's better to just part ways.

My sense is that it would depend on what the listing agent says, if it doesn't speak to it, it would depend on the reason for not continuing.

It depends on whatever agreement I put into place when taking the listing. Generally speaking, if the listing expires or they cancel, the seller owes me nothing.
