1. “"The fact that the principal under such circumstances makes the sale to a prospective purchaser at a lower price than that submitted to the purchaser through the agent, does not deprive the agent of his right to a commission, if the other circumstances are present, as is noted from the following language of the Court in the case of Kaufman Agency v. Viccellio, La.App., 174 So. 709 , 711: `* * * And where the agency is not exclusive, but the agent is the moving cause in securing a purchaser, and the principal, without the knowledge of the agent, sells to this prospective purchaser, at a lower price, the agent is entitled to his commission. Grace Realty Co. v. Peytavin Planting Co., Inc., 156 La. 93 , 100 So. 62 , 43 A.L.R. 1096 .'"”

2. “"We concede the proposition of law urged by the plaintiff that one who is employed as a broker becomes entitled to his commission whenever he procures for his principal a party with whom he is satisfied and who actually contracts for the purchase of the property and that once the owner and purchaser are brought together through the broker's efforts the fact that the sale is afterwards consummated between owner and purchaser without the broker's knowledge or presence does not relieve the owner from liability to pay the broker's agreed commission. Sollie v. Peoples Bank & Trust Co., La.App., 194 So. 116 ."”
