Okla. Stat. tit. 58, § 58-497: Contract with agent to procure purchaser

The district court may authorize the executor or administrator

of any estate to enter into a written contract with any bona fide

agent to secure a purchaser for any real or personal property of the

estate, which contract shall provide for the payment to such agent,

out of the proceeds of a sale to any purchaser secured by him, of a

commission, the amount of which must be fixed and allowed by the

court upon confirmation of the sale; and when said sale is confirmed

to such purchaser, such contract shall be binding and valid as

against the estate for the amount so allowed by the court. By the

execution of any such contract no personal liability shall attach to

the executor or administrator, and no liability of any kind shall be

incurred by the estate unless an actual sale is made and confirmed

by the court.
