Owners hate paying double commissions,
and although legal arguments can be made
that there is no law against this double
liability, you can expect that courts might
try and find a way to protect the consumer,
i.e. the owner. You have control: follow the
terms of your agreement. Here is a formula:
1. Note your listing term expiration date;
2. Send your registration letter timely,
whether you expect a listing renewal
or not;
3. Be able to prove your transmission of
that letter (certified mail, return receipt
requested, overnight mail, cc by email
with receipt requested); and
4. Stay active in pursuit of that protected
deal. If you don’t close it, some other
broker may, and be aware that courts
may be hesitant to protect you if you are
not the procuring cause.
It grieves me that Cityscapes worked on
the listing for two years and sourced the
ultimate buyer, with no compensation.
However, in all fairness, Cityscapes could
have done a better job of protecting itself.
