Plaintiff alleges that defendant agreed and in consideration for such performance that gimmie would be the listing agent for the sale of the property for which gimmie would earn a commission of five (5) percent of the sale's price. Further, gimmie alleges that pursuant to said agreement, gimmie did arrange for the repairs and improvements to be made on the beverly property by a contractor named humberto doall. Said improvements and repairs were performed in a good and proper manner and, therefore, gimmie fully performed his duties under said agreement. In or about july of 2013, noway sold the property for a purchase price of $780,000 in an all cash transaction.
