1. The personal representative may enter into a written contract with any bona fide agent, broker, or multiple group of agents or brokers to secure a purchaser for any personal property of the estate, and by that contract, the personal representative may grant an exclusive right to sell and shall provide for the payment to the agent, broker, or multiple group of agents or brokers, out of the proceeds of a sale to any purchaser secured pursuant to the contract, of a commission, the amount of which must be fixed and allowed by the court upon confirmation of the sale. If the sale is confirmed to the purchaser, the contract is binding and valid as against the estate for the amount so allowed by the court.

3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, the commission must not exceed 25 percent of the proceeds from the sale of any personal property pursuant to this section unless, before the sale of the personal property, the court approves a commission that exceeds 25 percent of the proceeds from the sale.
4. If a manufactured home or motor vehicle is sold pursuant to the provisions of this section, the commission for the sale of the manufactured home or motor vehicle must not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds from the sale.

(a) "Commission" means all fees collected by an agent, broker or group of agents or brokers to secure a purchaser for any personal property of an estate pursuant to this section, including all fees for costs related to the sale of any personal property pursuant to this section.
