Jerry Seinfeld’s Manhattan home is going to cost him more–about $100,000 more.
A Manhattan judge has ruled that the comedian owes about that much as a commission to the broker who helped him find the town house that he and wife Jessica bought for $3.95 million in February 2005.
Seinfeld had argued that the broker, Tamara Cohen, didn’t deserve the commission because she failed to show the brownstone on the Jewish Sabbath, the day the Seinfelds wanted to see it.
The Seinfelds looked at the house and made a deal to buy it without Cohen after they were unable to reach her.
Cohen said she had told the Seinfelds she observed the Jewish Sabbath.
