Each of the above sales contracts was concluded as a broker for the defendant.

On the other hand, the defendant is not qualified as a licensed real estate agent.

[Reasons for recognition] Fact that there is no partial dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1 through 5 (including each number of documentary evidence), Eul evidence Nos. 3, and the purport of the whole pleadings is invalid because a person who is not qualified as a licensed real estate agent for judgment of the purport of the whole pleadings does not register the establishment of a brokerage office without registering the establishment of a real estate brokerage office, and the payment agreement between the parties to the purchase and sale of real estate is in violation

(See Supreme Court Decision 201Da44726 Decided June 28, 2012, and Supreme Court Decision 2008Da75119 Decided December 23, 2010, etc.).

The defendant's argument is not satisfied.
