Schlender Chartered, Hailey, for respondents. E. Lee Schlender argued.


JOHNSON, Justice.

This is a real estate sale case. The primary issue presented is whether the sale agreement is unenforceable because the seller's agent did not have written authority to sign the agreement as required by I.C. § 9-505(5) prior to the signing. We conclude that the agreement is enforceable because the seller ratified it before the purchaser declined to purchase the property.
