i want to stop the sale of my home and the lawyer at the firm is telling me I owe the full commission to the broker even though no offer was presented or accepted
In California, real estate commissions are generally outlined in the listing agreement you signed with the broker. Here are a few points to consider:
- Review the listing agreement to see under what conditions the commission is due.
- Check if there is a clause about withdrawing the property from the market.
- Ensure no offers were made or accepted, as this could affect commission obligations.

It depends on the specifics of your listing agreement. Generally, in California:
- The commission is due if the broker fulfilled their obligations outlined in the contract.
- If the agreement includes a clause about paying the commission even if the sale doesn't complete, they may have a case.
- Check for any clauses about withdrawing your home from the market.
