Disputes With Real Estate Brokers, Escrow Officers, Title Companies & Lenders
In connection with the purchase and sale of real estate, whether it is vacant land, a single family residence, commercial property or industrial property, there are usually real estate brokers, escrow officers, title companies and lenders involved. Disputes can arise with real estate brokers over commissions. Disputes can arise with escrow officers as to how they prepared the escrow instructions and the deeds. Disputes can arise with the title company as to whether or not certain items should have or should not have been disclosed on the title insurance policy.

Specific Performance of Real Estate Transactions
With the ups and downs of the real estate markets, we have seen many circumstances in which the buyer or seller will back out of a purchase contract. Sometimes there is justification to back out of a contract. Sometimes there is no justification to back out of a contract. In any event, if you are the party who wants to proceed with the transaction, we can assist you in obtaining specific performance of the contract. If you are the party who wants to back out of the contract, we can determine whether you have a basis to do so.
 

 
 
 
Land Use and Zoning
You own vacant land that is zoned for apartment usage. You wish to construct a building consisting of 20 apartment units. The city decides it has too many apartments in this area and restricts you to 5 apartment units. We assist you in arguing your case against the city in order to allow you to construct the 20 units you are seeking.
 

 
 
 
Eminent Domain
Eminent domain occurs when the city seeks to take your property by condemnation with the understanding that the city will pay you “just compensation.” One issue is whether the city has the authority to take your property by condemnation. The second issue is whether the city is offering you “just compensation.” We represent you against the city in obtaining “just compensation”.
 
 

 
 
 
Inverse Condemnation
Inverse condemnation occurs when a city initiates action against your property which damages the property or otherwise reduces the value of your property. This can occur by a physical taking such as a negligently installed drain that floods your property or a regulation, such as a rule that prohibits you from building anything on your property. We assist you in recovering damages from the city for inverse condemnation.
