In an exclusive right to sell agreement, the real estate agent (in this case, Bill) has the exclusive authority to market and sell the property on behalf of the homeowner (Bob). This means that regardless of who actually finds a buyer for the property, Bill is entitled to a commission if the house sells during the agreement period.

If Don sells the house, Bill still gets the commission because the contract stipulates that he has the exclusive right to sell. Even if Don is the one who finds a buyer, the agreement ensures that Bill is compensated for his efforts in marketing and facilitating the sale. Therefore, in this scenario, Don would not receive a commission as the buyer's agent, since Bill's agreement gives him the right to commission regardless of who sells the property.

Other options introducing additional parties or variations in commission distribution misconstrue the terms of an exclusive right to sell contract, where the listing agent's commission remains intact regardless of the sale's specifics.
