Conditions Precedent in Brokerage Agreements
December 27, 2004
In the absence of language to the contrary, a real estate broker in New York becomes entitled to a commission when the broker produces a purchaser who is ready, willing, and able to consummate the sale. That is, if the seller changes its mind, or proves unable to deliver title, the seller remains liable for the broker's commission. Dispute about whether broker has procured a ready, willing, and able buyer has generated considerable litigation, but those disputes are not the subject of this article. Instead, this article focuses on the import of "language to the contrary" -- language that purports to alter the common law obligation of the seller to the broker.

Judge Lynch's decision is well written, the Judge reviewing a motion to dismiss by a business development company, Allied Capital, against a strike suit claiming that Allied's method of valuing its portfolio failed adequately to account for i) conditions at the companies themselves and ii) market conditions. The complaint appears to be, as is often the case, slap dash, content to point out that Allied revalued some of its positions, marking them down for a variety of reasons, and the stock price went down - all this, in the view of plaintiff's counsel, amounting to violations of Rule 10b-5.
