Matter of Scidmore

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 1, 1928
225 App. Div. 688 (N.Y. App. Div. 1928)

Opinion

November, 1928.


Order confirming report of referee, in so far as appealed from, modified by increasing the amount allowed to Charles E. Sammis from $5,000 to $9,120.38, being five per cent of the sales price. As so modified, the order is affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements to appellant, payable out of the estate. The testimony of the witnesses in behalf of Charles E. Sammis, the real estate broker, was that the customary charge for a sale of property similar to the one involved herein is five per cent of the sales price. This testimony was uncontradicted, and it was neither improbable nor open to suspicion. It should, therefore, have been taken as the basis of the allowance for the services of Sammis. Lazansky, P.J., Rich, Young, Seeger and Carswell, JJ., concur.
