[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ The Forum Board ] [ FAQ ] Re: Realtor Commission Obligation Posted by John Merchant on June 20, 2003 at 10:51 AM In Reply to: Realtor Commission Obligation posted by Newbie on June 19, 2003 at 9:56 PM But the house is currently listed by a realtor BUT the listing is almost expired with no fruits from the listing - - Does the realtor have any recourse if we just wait out the listing and do a FSBO? As an experienced RE Broker and lawyer, I'd say NO, no obligation by you of any kind. First, it's not YOUR agreement with the realtor, but the Seller's, and not one you even want to admit knowing about; if you did, then you could then have a legal obligation as per your state's laws, to know ALL about that contract, and I think it's safer that you know NOTHING about it. Further, since you didn't learn of the RE through any effort of the realtor, I'd think you wouldn't have even a moral obligation to protect the realtor.
