LEMME

Appeal from the Chancery Court for Wilson County
No. 06-510 Charles K. Smith, Chancellor

No. M2008-01036-COA-R3-CV - Filed October 2, 2009
Commercial real estate broker brought action against seller of property seeking commission following the sale of the property to buyers allegedly introduced to the seller by the broker during the term of the listing agreement. Upon cross motions for summary judgment, the trial court granted summary judgment to the seller finding the listing agreement was unenforceable because there was no meeting of the minds and a lack of mutual assent to the terms of the agreement. Broker appeals and finding error, we reverse and remand.
