Williamson, Inc. v. Calibre Homes, Inc.
Court of Appeals of Washington
1Opinion of the CourtEllington, J.
A real estate broker and its unlicensed corporate salesperson brought this breach of contract action, seeking compensation for their services. The real estate brokers and salespersons act permits such actions only upon proof that plaintiffs were licensed before offering their services. The corporate salesperson was not licensed. The corporate salesperson substantially complied with the statute, however, because both its employees were licensed, and the purposes of the statute were thus fulfilled. No other asserted ground justified summary judgment, and we therefore reverse and remand.
