If home seller June dies, which of the following would not terminate her listing agreement with ABC Realty?

In real estate, a listing agreement is a contract between a seller and a real estate broker that grants the broker the right to sell the seller's property. The death of the seller typically terminates the listing agreement because the legal ability to sell the property cannot be transferred to an estate or heirs without formal arrangements.

However, the death of Mark, who is presumably not directly involved in the listing agreement, does not affect the contractual obligations between June and ABC Realty. The listing agreement remains intact between June's estate and the brokerage unless otherwise specified. Thus, June's death would terminate the agreement, but not the death of someone unrelated to the contractual relationship, such as Mark.

The other options involve events that would affect the property or the seller's ability to perform under the agreement. For instance, if June's house burns down, the property is no longer in a condition to sell, which would invalidate the agreement. Similarly, a change in zoning to commercial only could alter the sellable nature of the property, thereby impacting the agreement. Each of these scenarios directly relates to the selling process or the condition of the property itself, while the death of Mark does not hold the same relevance to the contractual agreement between June and ABC Realty.
