Description
Victor Lewis sued Emma Boehm for breach of contract. He claimed that she owed him a commission on the sale of a piece of property. Both parties moved for summary judgment. The court granted summary judgment in favor of Ms. Boehm. Mr. Lewis appeals contending the court should have granted summary judgment in his favor. We affirm. The facts of this case are not in dispute. In 1978, Harold and Pauline Lundy and Robert Millheisler entered into a real estate sale and purchase contract with D.G. Construction & Development Company, Inc. for the purchase of real property located at the intersection of Dakota and Holland Streets in Spokane (hereinafter the Holland Street Property). Victor Lewis was the real estate broker for this contract. The parties owed Mr. Lewis a commission for this transaction, but due to the small down payment, the commission was not paid at the time of the execution of the real estate contract. Then, a dispute arose between the parties concerning the terms of the contract. To settle the dispute, the parties entered into an agreement titled "Offer to Option for Purchase and Offer to Settle Pending Legal Action." This agreement gave D.G. Construction an option to purchase the piece of property involved at a fixed price. The agreement also stated that upon the exercise of the option Mr. Lewis would have an exclusive right to sell the property for a 10 percent commission. The agreement was signed by the Lundys, Mr. Millheisler, and D.G. Construction.
