Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
The trial judge correctly concluded that an agreement to pay the appellant Schy a “finder’s fee” for locating realty to be purchased by the appellee was invalid and unenforceable because Schy was not a licensed real estate broker or salesman. Sections 475.41, 475.01(3), Florida Statutes (1979); First Equity Corp. of Florida v. Riverside Real Estate Investment Trust, 307 So. 2d 866 (Fla. 3d DCA 1975), cert. denied, 316 So. 2d 287 (Fla.1975).
Affirmed.
