Question
Shalom and blessings. My wife is a real estate agent and she advertised an apartment for rent. Another agent contacted her and said that she has a client and wants to cooperate with her on a fifty–fifty basis. She brought a client and a contract was signed. Now it has turned out that this other agent had already previously received the information about the apartment from a different agent, who offered her only one third for cooperation, and therefore she approached my wife. The client who came had seen the ad that this agent had posted before she approached my wife. Now the third agent claims that he also deserves a share, since the client came through the advertisement that originated from him. How should this be divided?
Answer
Shalom and blessings.
In every case of this kind, it is necessary to hear the claims of both sides.
In this matter, the ruling depends on what the second agent claims (what her position is).
