Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“. The second part of the statute [61- -2 -2] calls for more careful consideration. Do the words and terms ‘or assists or directs in the procuring of prospects’ apply to appellant? Does the following include the acts of the appellant: ‘or assists or directs . . . the negotiation or closing of any transaction which does or is calculated to result in the sale, exchange, leasing or renting of any real estate’? While these terms are very broad and inclusive, we think they do not. The primary purpose of real estate business is to sell real estate or its use and from such transactions receive a fee or commission. While it is necessary to secure listings, the term ‘real estate prospect’ refers to one interested in the purchase of realty or in obtaining a lease of its use and does not refer to one from whom you might secure a listing. Had the legislature intended to prohibit one from assisting a real estate broker to secure listings, it could have done so without difficulty. If we should stretch the meaning of the statute where it uses the words ‘or assists . the negotiation . of any transaction calculated to result in the sale, exchange, leasing or renting of any real estate’ to include the plaintiff as a real estate salesman, it would be just as feasible to include the abstractor who prepared an abstract of the property or the stenographer who typed the contract of sale or the deed or lease used in the transaction. 2”
