Under Ohio law, seller Norton has an exclusive right-to-sell listing with Broker Evans that expires on June 30. On June 25, Broker Evans shows the property to buyer Phillips. Phillips makes an offer on July 5 (after the listing expired). The listing agreement contains a 90-day protection clause with a list of prospects. Under Ohio law, is Broker Evans entitled to a commission?

Correct Answer

A) Yes, because Phillips was introduced during the listing period and the offer falls within the protection period

Under Ohio law, the protection clause entitles the broker to a commission if a buyer introduced during the listing period purchases the property within the protection period. Phillips was shown the property on June 25 (during the listing) and the offer on July 5 falls within the 90-day protection period.

Answer Options
A
Yes, because Phillips was introduced during the listing period and the offer falls within the protection period
B
No, because protection clauses are unenforceable in Ohio
C
No, because the listing expired before the offer was made
D
Yes, but only if Norton did not list the property with another broker after the listing expired
