CASE INTERPRETATIONS
RELATED TO ARTICLE 1OF THE CODE OF ETHICS:
Case #1-9: Exclusive Listing During Term of Open Listing (Originally Case #7-11. Revised May, 1988. Transferred to Article 1 November, 1994. Revised November, 2001.)
During a Board of REALTORSŪ luncheon, REALTORŪ A described to those at the table an old house in a commercial area which was open listed with him and invited the others to cooperate with him in selling the property. REALTORSŪ X and Y said they also had the property open listed but had found very little interest in it. REALTORŪ B made no comment, but feeling he could find a buyer for it, went to the owner and discussed the advantages of an exclusive listing. The owner was persuaded and signed an exclusive listing agreement with REALTORŪ B, telling him at the time that he had listed the property on an "open" basis for 30 more days with REALTORSŪ A, X, and Y. REALTORŪ B's comment was, "Just don't renew those open listings when they expire."
A few days later, REALTORŪ A brought the owner a signed offer to purchase the property at the asking price. The owner told REALTORŪ A that he now had the property exclusively listed with REALTORŪ B, and asked him to submit the offer through REALTORŪ B. Before REALTORŪ A could contact REALTORŪ B, REALTORŪ B had taken another offer to purchase the property at the asking price to the owner. Confronted with two identical offers, the owner found both REALTORŪ A and REALTORŪ B expected full commissions for performance under their respective existing listing agreements. The owner filed an ethics complaint with the Board of REALTORSŪ alleging violations of Article 1 of the Code of Ethics because of the difficult position he had been placed in by REALTORŪ A and REALTORŪ B. The owner alleged neither of them had warned him that he might be liable for payment of more than one commission.
