Where an owner of real estate asks a real estate broker "to get a deal," it is not necessary for the real estate broker to assent in words; if he procures a purchaser he makes a contract by performance and is entitled to commissions. Lamb v. Prettyman, 33 Pa. Super. Ct. 190.

Evidence was held to show that a contract by which plaintiff was employed to procure contemplated exchanges of real estate was a severable contract, and that the carrying out of one of the deals entitled the plaintiff to a commission, without regard to the other prospective deals. Goodspeed v. Miller, 98 Minn. 457, 108 N. W. 817. See also Sec. 496. Mechem on Ag. Sec. 634.

Where broker merely engaged to secure defendant a deal that suited him, after introducing defendant to one with whom he afterwards concluded the deal, wrote defendant a letter in which he expressed his opinion that there was nothing in the party to whom he had introduced defendant, there is no abandonment of the employment, it appearing that the defendant had previously signed a contract for an exchange of lands. Weidemeyer v. Wood-rum, 154 S. W. 894, 168 Mo. App. 716.

Broker employed "to find a deal"; held, to have fully performed the service for which he was employed by procuring a person ready, willing and able to make a satisfactory exchange of prop-412 crties with his principal. Nooning v. Miller, 165 S. W. 119, 178 Mo. App. 297; Meyers v. Kilgan, 160 S. W. 569, 177 Mo. App. 724.
