The trial court ordered specific performance and awarded damages to Smith and commissions to ReMax. On appeal, Smith argued for additional damages due to increased interest rates, which the appellate court granted by modifying the judgment. The Najafis cross-appealed, contending no valid contracts existed with either Smith or ReMax, but the appellate court affirmed the trial court's findings on contract formation. The case was remanded for a determination of Smith's appellate attorney fees.","primaryTopic":"contracts","topicSlugs":["contracts","property-real-estate","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=144714","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/james-smith-remax-professionals-of-st-joseph-inc-v-mohammad-najafi-and-ho-d82023","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: contract"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: property-real-estate"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
