[WSBARP] Agent commission

[Jennifer Y. Sohn]

Hi, I know someone had brought up a related topic before. A real estate
agent listed a property and got it under contract. His transaction
coordinator was in charge of getting the listing agreement signed but got
injured and it fell through the cracks (and it was never signed). During the
inspection period, the agent paid for some of the repairs to make the deal
work. The closing is scheduled to happen in several days. The seller had
been asked to sign the listing agreement but is refusing. Does the agent in
this type of case have any recourse? The RCW says there needs to be an
written agreement about the commission, but in this case, the agent did all
the work and the seller reaps the benefits of his services in selling the
house. Any insights would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Jennifer Sohn
