License Law Section
1. Seller employed Broker to sell his property in Astoria Park. Broker subsequently
negotiated a contract whereby Seller and Buyer agreed to sell and buy the property in
Astoria Park. The contract was prepared and typed in Broker's office. As there were
numerous conditions and terms that had been agreed upon by Seller and Buyer, the
contract was quite long and involved. Since the amount of deposit obtained by Broker
from Buyer was equal to what his commission was going to be, in the middle of one of
the long paragraphs was the phrase "In the event the buyer defaults, the deposit shall be
retained by the broker as his compensation." At the time Broker presented the contract to
Seller and Buyer for their signatures, he made no mention of the phrase he inserted in the
contract, nor did he recommend that they read the contract. However, he did not in any
way try to influence them not to read it. Seller and Buyer signed the contract without
reading it. In the area, a 50/50 split of defaulted deposits is customary between sellers and
brokers. Buyer subsequently defaulted. Seller asked Broker for 50% of the deposit.
Broker refused and showed Seller the phrase he had inserted in the contract. What should
Broker do?
a. Share the deposit 50/50 with Buyer.
b. Give Seller 50% of the deposit.
c. Give Seller an amount equal to his expenses and keep the rest.
d. Observe the terms of the contract and keep the deposit.
