<p>Principal and agent — Broker—Real estate broker — Commissions.</p> <p>Where an owner of real estate agrees to pay a licensed real estate broker a certain commission for selling his real estate “upon the consummation of said sale,” and it appears that the broker procured a purchaser with whom the owner entered' into a formal agreement in writing to sell the real estate, the broker will be entitled to his commissions although the sale fell through because the owner was not able to perform his contract to convey a marketable title to the purchaser.</p>
