[WSBARP] Garnishment

[Roger Hawkes]

If ‘real estate company’ is a managing broker and the commission passes through its control, then I think broker owes compensation; if not then broker is not owing broker/agent anything.  That is my vote without doing research😊

Listmates, I have a garnishment question that I am not sure on.  Client is a real estate company that was served a continuing writ on earnings. Since the agent is an independant contractor and the amount owed for commissions is the obligation of the Seller,  does the brokerage owe her "compensation for personal service" or are they holding an asset like bailment or a bank? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks, Craig
