Supreme Court of Connecticut
Reserve Realty, LLC v. Windemere Reserve, LLC
April 4, 2023346 Conn. 391
Summary
The court held that the commercial real estate listing agreements satisfied the statutory requirement to specify the duration of the brokerage authorization because their terms established a measurable period tied to clearly identified triggering events. The court nevertheless affirmed judgment for the defendants because the agreements were personal service contracts requiring the named broker's personal performance and therefore terminated upon her death, before any commission-generating sale or lease occurred.
