Blackfoot, Idaho, civil litigation lawyers represented the parties in a breach of contract dispute.

On September 19, Mattson informed Clawson that Justin Oleson wanted to purchase the property. Clawson spoke with Oleson on the phone that day and he expressed a belief that the property was only worth $200,000. Oleson accused Clawson of listing the property for $360,000 because she intended to sell the property to be developed, rather than seeking a buyer intending to use the property to farm as Mattson desired. Clawson responded that was not the case and that she
would inform Mattson that Oleson was not interested in purchasing the property. Shortly after this phone call, Oleson went to Mattson’s house, after which they executed a handwritten agreement signed by Mattson, Oleson, and Mattson’s brother, agreeing that Mattson would sell Oleson the property for $200,000. Communications subsequently broke down between Clawson and Oleson, at which time Clawson directed Oleson to direct any future communications regarding the property to Long.

Re/Max Prestige and Long filed motions to substitute or amend the complaint to include All-Around Realty, LLC, as a real party in interest. Mattson opposed these motions. The district court subsequently held a hearing and issued findings of fact and conclusions of law. The district court found Mattson breached the contract and Long was entitled to recover $21,600 in commission fees from Mattson. Mattson filed a motion to reconsider, which the district court denied. The district court then entered the judgment, which included an award of costs and attorney fees to Re/Max Prestige and Long, as well as pre- and post-judgment interest on the
damages previously awarded.
