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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““A broker, in order to recover the compensation called for by his contract of employment, must procure a person who is ready, willing, and able to purchase on terms set forth in the listing agreement. Where any material and essential matters are omitted from the listing agreement, the prospective buyer must agree to the terms and conditions of the seller as to such essential matters. When a buyer is produced who agrees to the seller’s terms, however, the fact that the owner thereafter refuses to complete the sale will not deprive the broker of his right to compensation. Actual sale of the property, therefore, is not necessary for the broker to recover his commission.” Schneider v. Martin, 136 N.W.2d 153, 154 (N.D.1965).”
