Why are you putting "look after me and asked what commission is owed" in quotes? You should put the man's actual statements in quotes, not your summary of what was said.raz wrote:Before you make a comment that you don't know shit about, Clownmac you should refrain from commenting. He agreed to "look after me and asked what commission is owed" to persuade Dunk to accept his offer as he was fully aware of the other party/s. It was a deal that the middle man would benefit from either side.
Your contract, if you got it in writing this time, was with the seller. The seller agreed to pay you a commission if you helped sell the place. Perhaps in the course of your dealings with the buyer, he said he would "look after you," whatever that means.
Maybe it means when he handed the seller the check, he said "Hey seller, Raz did a lot of work selling this place, you really should pay him the commission that he says you promised him." I don't know. But a vague comment like "I'll look after you" doesn't constitute a contractual promise, especially since you were working for the seller, not the buyer.
Unless you're claiming that, while you were working for the seller and representing his interests in the deal, for which he owes you a commission, you were also representing the buyer in the deal and representing his interests, for which he also owes you money.
The recurring theme in Raz's dirty laundry stories is that there are no written agreements to pay him money, yet everyone owes him money and then he bad mouths them in public for being deadbeats.
