BAKER V. DENNIS BROWN REALTY, INC.
433 A.2d 1271 (1981)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an action for intentional interference with a prospective
contractual relationship.
FACTS: P sought to purchase a home through Keeler Realty. An agent for Keeler examined
the multiple listings and found a home under an exclusive listing with D. P decided to buy
and an agreement was drafted and signed by P. Another agent from D (Bush) showed up and
informed P that only the full asking price would be acceptable to the seller. Two conditions
were added to P's offer of bank financing and the sale of P's house. P balked but eventually
agreed. Twenty minutes later, Bush showed up with another set of clients and informed them
that there was an outstanding offer and then they offered $300 more with contingent bank
financing but no conditional sale of their home. Bush was to receive a higher commission on
an in-house sale than working with the outside broker. Bush never communicated this offer to
P. P eventually bought a home in the neighborhood for $3,100 more than offered. The trial
court ruled for P and D appealed.
