"Introduced to the Property" means that the person was made aware that the Property was available to purchase irrespective from whatever source and without limiting the foregoing a person shall be deemed to have been introduced to the Property by the Agent if the person became aware that the Property was available for purchase as a result of viewing, hearing or reading any advertisements of whatever nature or medium, any boards, placards or other literature referring to the availability of the Property that were connected to the Agent in any way.
Consider the following situation:
A Vendor engages agent A first. Client X sees for sale ad by agent A and expresses interest. Agent A escorted client X for inspection of vendor's property, but client X's verbal offer was rejected. The vendor then engages agent B, who managed to secure a written offer from the same client X, but the offer was rejected by the Vendor, and the agency agreement with B then expires. The Vendor then engages agent A again, and after two months, agent A manages to secure an offer from the same client X to which the Vendor agreed to. Exchange of contract occurred.
In this case, is it correct to say that Client X was "introduced to the property" by both agent A and agent B? Or does "introduced to the property" only apply to the initial moment when Client X first became aware that the Vendor's property was for sale?
Is Agent B still entitled to commission if he had an exclusive agreement with the Vendor, despite failing to secure the deal?
