I am a licensed yacht salesman in California, and I am representing a boat owner under an “open” listing agreement for the sale of his boat. We were approached by another yacht brokerage with a potential buyer, and the parties eventually entered into a purchase contract. The buyer completed all of his inspections and signed off on all contingencies, but before closing the owner’s friend ran the boat aground. The boat suffered considerable damage in the incident, but upon learning that the repairs would be pretty straightforward the buyer agreed to go forward with the purchase if the repairs were completed in a timely manner. That would have been great news, except that the owner has decided that he does not want to sell the boat. We are now facing three issues. First, the buyer wants to force the sale to go forward. Second, since our listing agreement requires the owner to pay our commission if he backs out of an enforceable contract, we feel that we are entitled to our commission. And finally, the people from the other brokerage claim that they are entitled to a share of that commission since they brought the buyer to us. Can you help?
