A broker employed to effect a sale or lease of property, or employed to effect a loan on the security of real estate, who acts in good faith, is entitled to the commission, although the transaction fails of consummation because of a real or alleged defect in the principal's title, if the broker had no knowledge of the defect in the title at the time of finding the customer.
