Description
Plaintiff brought an action to recover a real estate broker's commission in connection with the sale of defendant's nursing home located in Ottawa, Illinois. Following a bench trial, the trial court entered judgment in plaintiff's favor for $35,000 plus costs of the suit. Defendant appeals from this judgment, and contends on review that (1) the written listing agreement between plaintiff and defendant was void; (2) plaintiff was not the procuring cause of the sale of defendant's nursing home; (3) plaintiff was not entitled to compensation from defendant under the theory of quantum meruit; (4) plaintiff's award should have been limited to that of a reasonable finder's fee; (5) plaintiff's award was erroneous since it acted as agent for both the purchaser of the nursing home and defendant without the latter's knowledge; (6) plaintiff's recovery should have been denied because it employed an unlicensed individual who negotiated on its behalf for the listing and sale of the nursing home; (7) the trial court erred in excluding evidence of other properties brought to plaintiff's attention by this unlicensed individual; and (8) the trial court improperly relied upon facts not in evidence in rendering judgment for plaintiff. Plaintiff cross-appeals, contending that it was improperly denied prejudgment interest on the award it received.
