Real Estate Litigation
Unfortunately, not all real estate transactions go as planned.
If you are a buyer or seller who has suffered damages, lost a
deposit, or has been sued as a result of a real estate transaction,
our litigation attorneys can help. We have years of experience
representing buyers and sellers with real estate negotiation,
mediation, and court trials. Our attorneys can also help you avoid
litigation by offering timely advice and guidance throughout the
real estate transaction.
Purchase and Sale Agreement Litigation
Most real estate litigation involves the Purchase and Sale
Agreement.
After the buyer and seller have entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement, they have entered into a major contract for hundreds of
thousands of dollars. This contract provides specific rights and
responsibilities to both parties. However, despite the parties'
best intentions, sometimes things do not go as planned. Sometimes a
party changes their mind, buyer remorse sets in, a specific
performance condition such as a repair is not made, or something
happens to prevent the sale. If this happens, sometimes a party is
harmed. Our lawyers can advise you of your specific rights.
Sellers' Rights
Sellers have certain rights and responsibilities under the
Purchase and Sale Agreement. If a buyer fails to perform as
required by the Purchase and Sale Agreement, oftentimes the seller
is entitled to keep the deposit as liquidated damages. However,
this right is not absolute. Contact our litigation attorneys for a
free consultation.
Buyers' Rights
Sometimes circumstances beyond your control prevent you from
being able to purchase property, or a seller may change their mind
about selling. If this is the case, you may have a claim against
your realtor or attorney who did not represent your rights. You may
also be entitled to an action against the seller to compel him to
sell the property to you. To learn more about what compensation you
are entitled to, please contact us for a free consultation.
Zoning, Land Use, and Property Line
In addition to sale and purchase contract disputes, our
attorneys represent clients in disputes arising over right of ways,
property lines, land-use, and zoning.
