This is a trick question right? The person with the exclusive does.
Now did you bring the buyer? And are you and the agent w the exclusive in the same MLS? You may be entitled to the co- broke.

An open listing means that anyone one can sell it...so if the seller signs an exclusive with another agent you are SOL...

Nothing if you were not the agent that brought the ready, willing and able Buyer to contract and if the Seller also has not accepted same. Open Listings afford no commission protection to any brokerage unless you provide that one simple facet.

Next time it would be best to insist on an exclusive agreement like the other agent did.

unless you sold it or showed it to the buyer I dont see you getting any money here.

but talk to your broker, maybe your states laws are different.

Rule number is never take an open listing. Even with exclusive listing if the sellers wants to cancel you should stipulate seller will pay you a commission if he chose to work with another person or agent.

What is an open listing agreement? Only an agent under an exclusive right to sell (operative words here -- exclusive right to seel) can sell and receive a commission.

An open listing is just that. SO unless you stated in it that you get paid if anyone else sells it, you would have had an exclusive and got paid. But if you took a foolish open listing, instead of telling them why an exclusive is in their best interest having them sign said exclusive, you are out in the cold.

You are out of luck brother! An open listing can be signed as many times to as many agents as the seller wants. There is NO notification needed if he sells it. Tell me this was NOT you!?
