The facts are uncomplicated. In December 1977 Lee Hamilton, president of Hamilton Music, enlisted the services of Leo Underwood, a sales broker with Gundaker, to find a retail space for relocation of one of four St. Louis area music stores. No suitable sites available for commercial leasing were found. Some time later Underwood showed Hamilton a building at 11561 St. Charles Rock Road in Bridgeton, Missouri, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Jordan (“Jordan”), however, he explained the property was for sale, not for rent. Desirous of leasing the Jordan building, Hamilton himself endeavored to find a prospective purchaser from whom he could rent the property. He finally found an interested buyer, only to learn that a contract for the sale of the Jordan property had already been negotiated. Underwood disclosed the names of Ozersky and Banks as the interested buyers to Hamilton so that he could contact them about leasing the property.
