If a broker incurred more expenses than anticipated when trying to sell a property, can they legally ask for an increased commission at the time of sale?

No, it is considered illegal
No, it is against the law
Yes, but only if the seller does not agree
Yes, with the consent of all parties involved

The correct answer is: No, it is considered illegal

The other options are incorrect because asking for an increased commission at the time of sale is considered a breach of the agreement between the broker and the seller. It is also against the real estate regulations and could result in legal consequences. While option D may seem like a possibility, it is important to note that all parties involved includes the buyer, who may not agree to an increased commission. Therefore, option A is the only correct and legal answer in this scenario.
