Which listing type ensures that the broker will receive a commission if the property sells while the listing is in effect, regardless of who finds the buyer?

The Exclusive Right to Sell Listing is the correct choice because it guarantees the listing broker a commission regardless of who brings the buyer to the transaction. This type of listing establishes a contractual agreement where the broker is granted exclusive rights to sell the property. As a result, if the property sells during the term of the listing agreement, the broker earns a commission. This arrangement provides the broker with a strong incentive to market the property effectively, knowing they will be compensated upon its sale.

In contrast, the Exclusive Agency Listing allows the property owner to sell the property themselves without owing a commission to the broker, should they find the buyer independently. An Open Listing does not grant exclusive rights to any broker, which means that multiple brokers can market the property, and the commission only goes to the broker who finds the buyer. Lastly, a Net Listing is based on the owner receiving a specific amount from the sale, allowing the broker to keep anything above that amount as their commission, but it doesn't guarantee the broker a commission like the Exclusive Right to Sell Listing does.
