Answer

Normally no commissision is earned until the house is sold. A seller cn of course refuse to sell his home. If you presented a valid contract with a buyer ready, willing and able to complete purchase for the stated price it is possible the trustees conduct was a breach of the real estate agreement. Your sales agreement should have the conditions for when the commission is earned. In any agreement there is a duty of fair dealing and to act in good faith. It appears the trustee has violated that duty by his conduct and you may be entitled to compensation.

Since the trustee breached your sales agreement you should be able to sue the estate for your commission.

You can also speak to the benefiaries of the trust. They are able to remove the trustee and/or sue him for breach of his fiduciary duty.

You should hire an attorney and get a try to get judgment against the trustee and the estate. Once you have a judgment you can lien the trustees property and or the estate.
