Residential Listing Agreement
California
Can a seller terminate a Residential Listing Agreement before the agreed-upon period ends?
I recently entered into a Residential Listing Agreement with a real estate agent to sell my property, but I am now considering terminating the agreement before the agreed-upon period ends. The agent has not been able to generate any offers or interest in the property, and I am concerned about the lack of progress. I want to know if I have the right to terminate the agreement early and if there are any potential consequences or obligations I should be aware of.
Dolan W.
Hello! I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. Legally speaking, most real estate agent agreements generally state you must pay their commissions even if you terminate the relationship, typically up to 6 months after the termination of the relationship. In theory, you have a breach of contract action if this person has not done any actual work or generated any offers or any interest in the property. This would likely make the agreement "unconscionable" in this case. So what does this mean? It means your best option is to negotiate the termination How do you do that? One little-known, but very effective tool that lawyers use to settle matters outside of court is called principled negotiation. All this means is that you are looking to get something done on the basis of principles, even if you can’t find a law to support you. It takes the anxiety out of dealing with the other side because you’re focused on the facts, not each other. With that said, here are some simple steps you can follow: Figure out what the other side’s interests are (saving money, saving time, etc.?); Think about what your interests are (saving money, saving time, etc.?); Come up with 2 to 3 reasonable and objective ways to solve the problem; Present it to the other side; If the other side rejects, ask them, “Is there a reason why you do not feel it is necessary to negotiate?” Consider what your best alternative to a negotiated agreement is. This will give you confidence that no matter what, you'll have an option. Of course, these are just building blocks to get the other party to help solve the dispute. Believe me when I say that good lawyers use this technique all the time to keep things out of court. You’ll find that it is very effective even with the most stubborn of individuals. Best of luck!

Purchase and Sale Agreement
California
Purchase and sale agreement contingencies?
I am in the process of purchasing a home and have received a Purchase and Sale Agreement from the seller. I understand that there are contingencies that must be met in order for the agreement to be valid, but I am unclear on what these contingencies are and how they will affect the agreement. I am hoping to get some insight from a lawyer on what contingencies I should be aware of and how they could affect the agreement.
Myrna L.
Contingencies are conditions provided in the contract that need to be met prior to performance or close of escrow. In Purchase and Sale Agreements, it is usually the buyer who negotiates for contingencies to reduce or eliminate their risks prior to close of escrow. Normally, buyer’s contingencies would include appraisal reports, property inspections, mortgages, title reports or sale of another property. More often than not, sellers do not have contingencies in Purchase and Sale Agreements because they want to sell the property in a timely manner; if seller cannot deliver the property, it may deem the property not available for sale in the first place.

Quitclaim Deed
California
Do quitclaim deeds expire?
I recently inherited a piece of property from my late uncle. I have recently received a quitclaim deed for the property, but I'm not sure if it is still valid. I am interested in selling the property, but I need to know if the quitclaim deed is still valid and will not expire.
Sarah S.
A quitclaim deed typically maintains its validity over time, but there are key factors to keep in mind: Proper Execution: To ensure the quitclaim deed remains valid, it must have been correctly executed when your late uncle transferred the property to you. This usually entails the presence of a notary public or witnesses and adherence to your state's legal requirements for deed execution. Recording: For safeguarding your interests and confirming the deed's legitimacy, it should be officially recorded with the relevant government office, often the county recorder's office. Recording serves to establish a public record of the property transfer.

Commercial Lease
California
What's the property description in a commercial lease?
I am a small business owner who is looking to lease a property for my business. I am currently reviewing a commercial lease and am trying to understand what is included in the property description in the lease. I am hoping to gain more clarity on what the property description entails and how it affects my business.
Gagandeep K.
A property description in a commercial lease has to sufficiently identify the extent and boundaries of the property being leased. For example, it can be described by a map reference or by metes and bounds, or include a description such as "that certain building on the south-westerly corner of California and Larkin Streets." The commercial lease will include defined terms such as "Building," "Property," and "Premises". The defined terms define/describe the "Property" on which the "Building" is located which has the "Premises"/"Space" that is being leased. A sample definition of is Property Description in a Commercial Lease: ""Property" means the real property on which the Building is located together with the Building and all appurtenant fixtures and personal property of Landlord used in the operation of the Building and/or the Property, and any other improvements now existing or hereafter constructed thereon[, including the parking lot, walkways, and landscaped ground as depicted on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit [LETTER]]."

I have rent to own lease agreement the owner passed away and his conservator sold the property what can I do
I explained in the first box
Matthew K.
After the sale, did you continue living there and paying the lease amount? It's difficult to expand on my answer without reading the agreement (it cannot be oral). Assuming the agreement is what you say, you might consider recording a Lis Pendens on the property. That will get everyone's attention, I can assure you. Probably also consider a quiet title action. None of that advice is necessarily relevant; it depends on what the agreement says.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
