Court reviews whether defendants breached a Real Estate Sales Agency Contract

PEGGY GIFFIN d/b/a RE/MAX REALTY CENTER, ET AL. v. ANTHONY SAWYER, ET AL. (Tenn. Ct. App. July 3, 2012)

Peggy Giffin d/b/a Re/Max Realty Center and Racia Futrell (collectively “Plaintiffs”) sued Anthony Sawyer and Hope Sawyer alleging, among other things, that the Sawyers had breached a real estate sales agency contract.

After a bench trial, the Trial Court entered its order finding and holding, inter alia, that the Sawyers did not breach the sales agency contract and that Plaintiffs were not entitled to collect a commission under the sales agency contract. Plaintiffs appeal to this Court. We find that the evidence does not preponderate against the Trial Court’s findings, and we affirm.
