Subject: [WSBARP] Agent commission <br>
<br>
<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi, I know someone had brought up a related topic before… A real estate agent listed a property and got it under To se 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.</span></p>
