Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Connecticut
Buyer/Broker - Procuring Cause
I have a buyer and am showing her a house this week. I have been representing her since April 1st. Back in early March, she signed a one-day buyer-broker agreement with another agent and saw one property. She was not interested at the time in this property because the price was too high. So, she signed on with me and I have been showing her properties since. I brought up this same property today and she informed me that she saw it in the past with an agent on this one-day agreement. She is now interested in it because it has been recently reduced and now it is in her price range. If she were to put an offer in thru me, would the former agent who had that one-day buyer/broker agreement be entitled to any commission?

I don't know what the prior agreement says.
