What happens if a property sold under an exclusive agency listing is found by another agent?

In an exclusive agency listing, the seller retains the right to find a buyer independently. However, if another agent brings a buyer to the table, the situation can lead to a commission discussion. In this scenario, the seller typically remains responsible for paying commissions to both brokers.

This is because the listing agreement with the original broker grants them the right to earn a commission, whereas the second broker who brings in the buyer is also entitled to a commission for their effort. Thus, the seller will need to settle commission obligations with both brokers, resulting in a situation where both brokers may receive payment for their services rendered in facilitating the sale of the property.
