Mr Chapman was asked to write a deal where the owner and seller found each other, viewed the property, and negotiated a deal. The buyer offered him $10,300 just to close the deal. He accepted (in writing), and began exchanging paperwork, but later went to the buyer and said he wanted a full 3% commission. With the deal already negotiated, there was no room to try and accommodate his change of heart (greed) the buyers asked to wait out his agreement, and after which went to retain a Relator they could work with
