Sufficiency of the Writing
1. Newmark & Co. Real Estate, Inc., (the broker) contacted 2615 East 17 Street Realty, LLC, (the landlord) to lease certain real property on behalf of a client (the tenant). As is common in real estate transactions, the broker is paid a commission. The lease agreement stated that the landlord would pay the full commission to Newmark. Newmark e-mailed the landlord a commission agreement containing information on the amount of the commission, the deadline for payment of the commission, the services for which the commission was being paid, and the information about Newmark required to make payment. The landlord e-mailed Newmark back with a request to pay the commission in several payments instead of one single payment. Newmark revised the agreement to include the multiple payment deadlines and e-mailed a final copy to the landlord. The landlord responded by e-mail, acknowledging receipt of the revision and thanking Newmark for making the change. All e-mails had the names of the sender typed at the bottom of the e-mail.
