Estate of Saemann v. Tucker Realty

STATON, Judge.

The Estate of FI. Saemann appeals from the Fulton Circuit Court's grant of summary judgment awarding Tucker Realty broker's commissions in the amount of $12,-875.00, interest at the legal rate from the closing date, attorneys fees, and costs of the action. We are asked to address a single issue on appeal:

Whether the trial court erred in its determination that the grant of an option to purchase during the term of a listing - agreement for the sale of real estate entitles a broker to a commission upon exercise of the option after the expiration of the term of the listing agreement?
