An owner of certain realty listed it for sale with brokers, and agreed that he would sell the property so listed for a given sum net to him; the broker procured a purchaser able, willing and ready to buy at a price in excess of the amount named, but the owner refused to sell. Held, that the agreement did not import an offer on the part of the owner to pay the brokers the excess in the amount which the purchaser was willing to pay above the sum named for which the owner was willing to sell it, and a petition asking for judgment for the excess was demurrable. Matheney, Beasly and Koon v. Godin, 130 Ga. 713, 61 S. E. 703. See also Sec. 456.
