1. “A real-estate broker is, generally, a special agent with (limited powers and is, therefore, closely restricted within the terms of his agency. 8 Am. Jur. 1016 , 1017, § 59. Hanson was given the property to advertise, and his im plied authority extended no further than to describe the property, and to obtain a purchaser. The powers of a real-estate broker in this state have long been subject to limitations, and one dealing with him is chargeable with notice of the limitations of his power. Kosten v. Fleming, 15 Wn. (2d) 523, 131 P. (2d) 170 ; Pacific Mutual Life Ins. Co. v. Munson, 115 Wash. 119 , 196 Pac. 633 .
