SABERS, Justice
(concurring in result).
The majority opinion affirms the trial court’s decision awarding a real estate commission of $36,000.00. The facts of this case raise serious questions as to the “claimed efforts” of the Realtor. The “claimed efforts” are far from the “best efforts” required by the listing agreement. In fact, the Realtor’s “efforts” were so minimal they are more supportive of Defendant’s arguments for waiver, estoppel, release and cancellation than they are for a realtor’s commission. This decision would be easier to support if the trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law were otherwise. We are bound, however, by the findings of fact as there was some evidence to support them. Accordingly, I concur in result.
