¶1The appeal in this case is taken from an order of the court granting a new trial in an action brought by the appellees against appellants to recover $1000 and interest which they claimed as a commission for producing a purchaser or one who would make a satisfactory trade with appellants for a tract of eight hundred acres of land belonging to appellants. The verdict and judgment denied the appellees’ right of recovery.
¶2The facts in this case bring it fairly within the rule laid down in recent decisions of this court, as follows: In Green v. Fist, 89 Kan. 536, 132 Pac. 179, it was said:
“Following Betz v. Land Co., 46 Kan. 45, 26 Pac. 456, it is held, that when an agent for the sale'or exchange of real estate finds a purchaser able and willing to take the land at the agreed terms or to enter into a contract which is satisfactory to the principal, he has earned his commission.” (Syl.)
¶3*298In Hutton v. Stewart, 90 Kan. 602, 135 Pac. 681, it was said:
“Ordinarily a real-estate broker has earned his commission when he has produced a customer with whom his principal enters into an enforceable contract for the sale of the land, although the title does not actually pass. After the principal has entered into such a contract, not being induced thereto by any deceit on the part of the broker, he can not avoid liability for a commission by showing the inability of the buyer to carry out his agreement.” (Syl. ¶ 1.)
¶4It follows that the motion to set aside the judgment and grant a new. trial was properly sustained.
¶5The order is affirmed.
