A licensee produces a ready, willing, and able buyer, but the sale is not completed. The seller would NOT be liable for the licensee's commission if the sale fell through for which of the following reasons?

In this scenario, the seller's illness directly impacts the sale, as their inability to vacate the property could be seen as a failure to fulfill their obligations under the contract. Consequently, the seller may still be held liable for the commission, as the sale's completion was hindered by their circumstances.

While the refusal of a spouse to sign may complicate the sale, it is a situation that falls within the seller's responsibility to resolve. The seller is typically expected to ensure that all necessary parties are in agreement, thus potentially making them liable for the commission in this case.

If the buyer rejected the restrictions imposed by the seller that were not part of the original listing, this reflects a decision made by the buyer rather than the seller. However, the seller may still be liable for the commission if the refusal stems from unclear terms that should have been disclosed upfront.
