Realty Marts, Inc. v. Barlow, 312 So.2d 544, 545 (Fla. 1st DCA 1975). See Realty Marts International, Inc. v. Barlow, 348 So.2d 63 (Fla. 1st DCA 1977). See generally 12 Am.Jur.2d Brokers ยง 232 (1964).
A broker was found to be the procuring cause in a case factually similar to the instant case. Realty Marts, Inc. v. Barlow, 312 So.2d 544 (Fla. 1st DCA 1975); Realty Marts, Inc. v. Barlow, 348 So.2d 63 (Fla. 1st DCA 1977). There, as here, the broker found a customer who was ready, willing and able to purchase and showed him the property.
Appellant, defendant in the trial court, seeks relief from an adverse final judgment entered following a non-jury trial, by which it was determined and held that appellee was entitled to receive a real estate commission from appellant by virtue of appellee having been the procuring cause of the transaction. The evidence in this case is subject to the same interpretation as that discussed by this Court in Realty Marts, Inc. v. Barlow, 312 So.2d 544 (Fla. 1st DCA 1975), and Realty Marts, International, Inc. v. Barlow, 348 So.2d 63 (Fla. 1st DCA 1977). Finding as we do that the evidence was sufficient to sustain the findings of the learned trial judge, sitting as trier of the facts, we affirm. Another point, inferentially addressed by appellant, deserves our attention. During the trial appellee called as a witness one of the purchasers of appellant's property whose testimony was not favorable to appellee and in many respects substantiated the contentions of appellant.
