Head Matter:
Sigmund SCHY, Appellant, v. Martin Z. MARGULIES, Appellee.
No. 80-2460.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Dec. 8, 1981.
Brown, Huysman, Matthews & Singer and Cindy S. Lederman, for appellant.
Floyd, Pearson, Stewart, Richman, Greer & Weil and Ellen C. Freidin, Miami, for appellee.
Before HUBBART, C. J., and HENDRY and SCHWARTZ, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The trial judge correctly concluded that an agreement to pay the appellant Schy a "finder's fee" for locating realty to be purchased by the appellee was invalid and unenforceable because Schy was not a licensed real estate broker or salesman. Sections 475.41, 475.01(3), Florida Statutes (1979); First Equity Corp. of Florida v. Riverside Real Estate Investment Trust, 307 So.2d 866 (Fla. 3d DCA 1975), cert. denied, 316 So.2d 287 (Fla.1975).
Affirmed.
