Description

June Roberts Agency, Inc. appeals and Venture Properties, Inc. and Patrick Rocheleau cross-appeal from the entry of a summary judgment in the Superior Court (York County, Fritzsche, J.) in favor of Venture and Rocheleau on June Roberts's seven count complaint and in favor of June Roberts on Venture's M.R.Civ.P. 11 motion for expenses and attorney fees. Because we agree with June Roberts that the court erred in entering a summary judgment on Counts I, II, and III of its complaint, we vacate the judgment as to those counts. In August 1992 Guillermo and Alice Larrea were shown various lots and homes in the York area by an agent of June Roberts, a real estate agency located in York. The Larreas purchased a large unimproved lot in York in the fall of 1992 and June Roberts received a commission. An agent of June Roberts recommended Patrick Rocheleau, the president and sole shareholder of Venture, a corporation doing business as Rocheleau Custom Homes in York, as a home builder. Later that fall the Larreas entered into a six-month listing agreement with June Roberts for the sale of four lots included in their previous land purchase. In February 1993 the Larreas entered into a contract with Venture for the construction of their home for $435,000. June Roberts claims that there was an existing agreement between it and Venture to the effect that Venture would pay June Roberts a 5% fee for any referral that resulted in a construction contract. Venture contends that an agent of June Roberts approached it about a 5% fee for the referral of the Larreas, similar to two previous transactions between the parties, but that Venture refused to pay unless the Larreas were told about the arrangement. In April 1993 June Roberts's exclusive listing agreement with the Larreas expired and the Larreas did not renew it.
