Main V. Taggares

The trial court held valid an agreement by which William W. Main, Sr., plaintiff, agreed to pay Stanley Taggares, defendant, $28,000 less certain expenses. The contract was made contemporaneously and in connection with a real estate sale agreement between plaintiffs and a third party. Plaintiffs contend the contract with defendant was for a real estate broker's commission, to which defendant, having no real estate broker's license, legally was not entitled. They also sought refund of $6,000 previously paid defendants under the contract. From the judgment for the defendants, plaintiffs appeal.
