brokerage

brokerage
The business of a broker; the compensation or commission of a broker. Little Rock v Barton, 33 Ark 436, 447. The very essence of a brokerage commission is its dependence upon success, and its independence of the amount of work done by the broker. It is earned if the broker, without devoting much or any time to finding a customer, succeeds in procuring one. No commission is earned if a broker is not successful, and he is not entitled to any compensation, no matter how much time he has spent in finding a customer, if no customer is found. Cadigan v Crabtree, 179 Mass 474, 61 NE 37.
