A licensee finds a ready, willing, and able buyer for a property listed. The buyer's offer meets all of the terms of the listing, but the owner decides not to sell and refuses to pay the licensee a commission. Which of the following actions is the licensee's best recourse?

While submitting the matter for arbitration could be a potential route, it is not the most direct recourse available to the licensee. Arbitration typically involves disputes regarding conduct rather than commission claims based on contractual obligations. Therefore, this option may not effectively resolve the issue of unpaid commission.

Attaching a lien to the property is not a valid option for the licensee in this case. Liens are typically used to secure payment for debts owed related to the property itself, not for commission disputes arising from listing contracts. The licensee's claim for commission is contractual and does not warrant a lien on the property.

Seeking an injunction is inappropriate in this context, as it would attempt to restrict the owner’s ability to sell their property. The licensee's dispute is regarding commission, and an injunction would not resolve that issue but rather interfere with the owner's rights, making it an ineffective recourse.
