When you have an exclusive right to sell listing, the owner can lease the property for a maximum of:

  1. as long as he wishes, with consent of broker

  2. not beyond the listing period, without the broker's consent

  3. not more than 99 years, with or without the broker's consent

  4. the owner cannot lease the property without the broker's consent

The correct answer is: as long as he wishes, with consent of broker

When an exclusive right to sell listing is in place, the owner has given the broker the exclusive right to sell the property. This means that the owner cannot sell it on their own or with the help of another broker. The correct answer in this case is A because the owner can lease the property for as long as they wish, but they must have the consent of the broker. This means that even though they have exclusive rights to sell, they still need to get permission from the broker before leasing the property. Option B is incorrect because it states that the owner cannot lease the property beyond the listing period, without the broker's consent. This is not entirely accurate as the owner can lease the property during the listing period without the broker's consent. The key here is that the owner still needs the broker's consent. Option C is incorrect because it states that the owner cannot lease the property for more than 99 years, with or without the broker's consent. This is not accurate as there is no set limit on the length of the lease. The only requirement is that the owner has the broker's consent. Option D is incorrect because it states that the owner cannot lease the property without the broker's consent. This is not entirely accurate
