May 30, 2020 11:41:13Hey, Ken! There are different types of listing agreements that have different terms and requirements. We have an article about what you need to know when you hire a real estate agent that talks about the different types of listing agreements. Whether unjust enrichment applies to that particular situation is a matter that needs to be addressed by a real estate attorney, since there could be gray areas. We highly suggest that in this situation you reach out to a real estate attorney.
