In this arrangement, the broker has the exclusive right to market the property and is entitled to a commission if the broker is the one who brings the buyer. This type of agreement strikes a balance between the seller's autonomy and the broker's marketing efforts, making it distinct from other types of listing agreements, where either the seller gives up all rights to sell independently or does not provide the broker with exclusive marketing rights.

In an exclusive right to sell listing, the broker would receive a commission no matter who sells the property, even if the seller finds the buyer themselves.
