Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

For a commission disagreement. A property co-listed sold by one of the co-list agents, where the selling agent sold the property herself. There was no written agreement saying that the sales side would be split with the co-list agent even though the co-list agent says there was a verbal agreement.

What are the legal consequences for the selling side commission.

This is probably going to be the fastest and cheapest way to get a resolution, and if the parties choose an arbitrator who is highly knowledgeable about the California real-estate business, your award should be fair, reasonable and consistent with the law.
