#1. is the obvious answer.  Kevin Ray 2) A listing Agreement is never a sales contract. 3) it's not applicable that a Listing Agreement gets assigned.

4) A listing is not a mortgage. Teachers like to word a question so that it may appear tricky.

My question though is why would they mention the buyer in the answer. That makes the answer incorrect to some degree. I agree that 1 is the answer, but by stating that a listing agreement is a contract between buyer and broker..... that is not correct. It is just a poorly written answer is what I am saying.

Kevin - referring to you answer to Bruce Hicks , that was my first thought as well. The listing agreement doesn't mention buyers.

I honestly wouldn't know how to answer that - but you're also in Colorado so there are always difference in the way terms are used.

Thanks for commenting on this. There have been a lot of odd questions in Laura's course and I will be sharing a few of them here to get everybody's thoughts on them. This one is not nearly the worst, but it makes you stop and wonder if you are missing something; I think the answer should have left the buyer out of it because there is no reason to mention the buyer.
