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 arbitration can be a method for resolving disputes, it may not be the most effective path in this situation. The primary issue lies in the refusal of the seller to honor the agreement, which is a matter of breach of contract. Arbitration may not provide the necessary remedy for the commission owed and could prolong the resolution process.

Attaching a lien to the property is not an appropriate recourse in this situation. Liens are typically used to secure payment for debts related to the property itself, and the licensee does not have a direct claim against the property in this case; instead, the dispute is about the contractual agreement with the seller.

Seeking an injunction would not effectively resolve the issue of commission payment. An injunction would only prevent the seller from selling the property, which is not a solution to the licensee's claim for compensation. This action could also lead to further complications and is unlikely to be granted without a strong legal basis showing irreparable harm.
