Pixton V. Silva

The plaintiffs, Kenneth and Alyce Pixton, commenced this action against defendants, Manuel and Ila Silva, for specific performance of an earnest money agreement to purchase a dairy farm. Alternatively, plaintiffs sought to recover from the Silvas and defendant Farm Management Services, Inc., real estate brokers, $20,000 paid by Mr. Silva as earnest money. At the close of plaintiffs' case, the trial court granted defendants' motions to dismiss the complaint. Plaintiffs appeal.
