Description
The issue presented by this case is whether the public policy of this state requires a written listing for the sale of real estate by a licensed broker in order for the broker to recover a commission in an instance in which a sale of the property was completed through the efforts of the broker. The trial court ruled "Wyoming Statutes and regulations of the Wyoming Real Estate Commission clearly indicate a public policy which requires written listing and commission agreements." A summary judgment was entered denying recovery of the brokers commission. An ancillary procedural question exists as to whether genuine issues of material fact foreclose the entry of a summary judgment. We hold the trial courts interpretation of the law was erroneous, and genuine issues of material fact require a trial. The summary judgment entered by the trial court is reversed, and the case is remanded for trial.
