Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 43.040
Procuring Cause: Unknown Rival Brokers
Where a seller employs two brokers to find a purchaser for the property and they are ignorant
of each other’s employment, the broker whose efforts were the predominant procuring cause of
the sale is entitled to the commission even though the other may have rendered services without
which the result would not have been reached.
