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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A realtor’s commission may be earned in any of the three ways stated in Ducommun v. Johnson, 252 Iowa 1192, 1196 , 110 N.W.2d 271 , 273: “First, by effecting a binding contract of sale under authority given to the agent to make such a contract for the principal; second, by producing a purchaser to whom a sale is in fact made; third, by producing a purchaser ready, willing and able to buy on terms specified in the agency agreement.” In the third situation, if the realtor “finds a customer who is able and willing to take the property at [the stated] price, and upon the stated terms, he is entitled to compensation whether a sale is effected or not.” Murphy v. Brown, 252 Iowa 764, 767 , 108 N.W.2d 353, 355 .”
