. (a) Subject to Section 10162.6, where the court confirms a
sale on an increased bid, made at the time of the hearing on the
petition for confirmation, to a purchaser procured by a bona fide
agent or broker, the court shall allow the compensation determined
under Section 10161 on the full amount for which the sale is
confirmed, as provided in this section, if either of the following
conditions is satisfied:
(1) The original bid returned to the court for confirmation was
made by a purchaser who was procured by another agent or broker.
(2) The original bid returned to the court for confirmation was
made by a purchaser who was not represented by an agent or broker,
and another agent or broker holds a contract under Section 10150
granting the exclusive right to sell the property.
(b) The agent or broker who procured the purchaser to whom the
sale is confirmed shall be paid one-half of the compensation on the
amount of the original bid and all of the compensation on the
difference between the original bid and the amount for which the sale
is confirmed.
(c) The other one-half of the compensation on the amount of the
original bid shall be paid as follows:
(1) If the original bid returned to the court is made by a
purchaser who was procured by the agent or broker holding a contract
under Section 10150 granting the exclusive right to sell the
property, the entire one-half of the compensation on the original bid
shall be paid to that agent or broker.
(2) If the original bid returned to the court is made by a
purchaser who was procured by a bona fide agent or broker and there
is no agent or broker holding a contract under Section 10150 granting
the exclusive right to sell the property, the entire one-half of the
compensation on the original bid shall be paid to that agent or
broker.
(3) If there is an agent or broker who holds a contract under
Section 10150 granting the exclusive right to sell the property and
the original bid returned to the court is made by a purchaser who was
procured by another agent or broker, the one-half of the
compensation on the amount of the original bid shall be divided
between the agent or broker holding the contract granting the
exclusive right to sell the property and the other agent or broker
whose original bid was returned to the court for confirmation as is
provided in any agreement between the agent or broker holding the
contract and the other agent or broker. If there is no agreement, the
one-half of the compensation on the amount of the original bid shall
be divided equally between the agent or broker holding the contract
and the other agent or broker whose original bid was returned to the
court for confirmation.
(4) If there is an agent or broker who holds a contract under
Section 10150 granting the exclusive right to sell the property and
the original bid returned to the court is made by a purchaser who is
not represented by an agent or broker and the court confirms the sale
on an increased bid, made at the time of the hearing on the petition
for confirmation, to a purchaser procured by another agent or
broker, the entire one-half of the compensation on the original bid
shall be paid to the agent or broker holding the contract.
(5) If the agent or broker compensated under subdivision (b) holds
a contract under Section 10150 granting the exclusive right to sell
the property, the entire one-half of the compensation on the original
bid shall be paid to the other agent or broker who procured the
original bid returned to the court.
