Suppose CCP Management, Inc., entered into a property management agreement with Andrew Hoganmuller and several companies which Hoganmuller operated. CCP now contends that Hoganmuller and the related companies failed to pay amounts due to CCP as the manager of rental properties under the property management agreement.

The principal object of the agreement was the performance of acts for which real estate broker and property management licenses were required. CCP, however, did not at any time possess a real estate broker license or a property management license.

CCP contends it is entitled to recover compensation for services for which no licenses were required regardless of whether other services that it provided required such licenses.

Was this a legal contract? If it is an illegal contract, is it void or voidable in whole or in part?

Does the doctrine of severability apply? Are there any additional facts that we would need to find out in order to resolve this dispute?
