SOSA, Justice, dissenting. I disagree with the majority’s opinion. I find the language unambiguous. My view is that if it had been the intention of the Legislature to only limit operation of the statute to contracts between an owner of real estate and a broker or agent, it could easily have employed language to express such intention. Since no such intention has been expressed by the Legislature, it is ill advised for us to legislate judicially the limitation offered by the majority. If a change is to be made to cover brokers, this change — manifesting public policy — belongs with the Legislature. Therefore, I must respectfully dissent.
