Real Estate Listing Contract: Broker's Commission on Sale Subsequent to Expiration of Contract Containing "Extension" Clause
The real estate listing contract involved in this case provided that the contract was to
be in effect until, and, in addition, provided that if a sale was made during an
extended period of months after that date, to a person with whom the broker had
negotiated during the term of the contract, then the broker was entitled to the commission.
A broker who works under such a contract is entitled to a commission if two
conditions are satisfied; first, if a sale is made during the extended period of the contract to a
person (called the actual purchaser) with whom the broker dealt during the original stated
term of the contract; second, if the dealing went to a point where that person could be
considered a likely purchaser before the original period of the contract expired.
In determining whether the actual purchaser in this case was a likely purchaser in the
meaning of the law, you should consider whether under all the facts and circumstances it was
probable that as a result of the broker's activity the purchaser would make an acceptable offer
during the extended period.
