Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers

Real Estate Option Agreement
Georgia
Can a Real Estate Option Agreement be terminated if the seller sells the property to a third party before the option period expires?
Can a Real Estate Option Agreement be terminated if the seller sells the property to a third party before the option period expires? I entered into a Real Estate Option Agreement with a seller, giving me the option to purchase their property within a specified time frame. However, before the option period expired, the seller sold the property to a third party. I am now unsure of my rights and whether I can enforce the option agreement or seek any remedies for the seller's breach of contract.
Jerome L.
Hi there, If you had a valid and enforceable Real Estate Option Agreement, the seller likely breached that agreement by selling the property to a third party before the option period expired. Here’s what you should know: Your Rights Under an Option Agreement: An Option Agreement is Legally Binding: Once you pay consideration for an option to purchase property within a specified time frame, the seller is legally obligated to keep that offer open. They cannot sell the property to someone else during that time without breaching the agreement. The Sale Does Not Automatically Terminate the Option: The seller's transfer to a third party does not cancel your rights under the option agreement. In fact, the third party may have taken the property subject to your option, especially if the agreement was recorded or the buyer had notice. You May Be Entitled to Legal Remedies: Your options may include: Specific Performance: Forcing the sale of the property to you if it is still possible. Monetary Damages: If specific performance is not available, you could pursue damages for breach of contract. Equitable Remedies: Depending on the circumstances, there may be claims for fraud, bad faith, or interference with contractual relations if the third party knew about your option. Recording the Option Agreement Strengthens Your Claim: If your option was recorded in the public land records, it puts all third parties on notice of your rights. Even if it wasn’t, the seller and potentially the third party may still be liable based on what they knew. I recommend speaking with an attorney as soon as possible to review your agreement, assess the timeline, and determine the best course of action based on your state’s laws. If you are in Georgia or need guidance on how to proceed, I would be glad to help. Best regards, Jerome Lucas Newell, Esq. Real Estate & Contracts Attorney

Net Lease
Georgia
Can a tenant terminate a net lease agreement before the end of the term?
I am currently leasing a commercial property under a net lease agreement, where I am responsible for paying rent as well as a share of property expenses such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, my business is struggling and I am considering terminating the lease before the agreed-upon term ends. I am unsure if this is legally possible under a net lease and I need clarification on my rights and any potential consequences or penalties involved in terminating the lease early.
Thomas D.
Unless the landlord failed to maintain the property or failed to abide by other terms of the lease, the tenant cannot normally terminate a lease early. I would need to review the lease. Tom

Purchase and Sale Agreement
North Carolina
Deposit in a purchase and sale agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a property and have recently been presented with a Purchase and Sale Agreement. I am unclear on the deposit requirements for this agreement, and would like to know what is typically expected in this situation. I am also interested in understanding what happens to the deposit if the deal does not go through.
N'kia N.
A Purchase and Sale Agreement for real property will often require two types of "deposits." The first is a due diligence fee; the second is an earnest money deposit. A due diligence fee is paid to reserve time for the buyer to conduct due diligence - an opportunity to evaluate whether or how to move forward with the deal. The seller earns this fee immediately by agreeing not to sell the property to another buyer, potentially one offering a higher price, during the due diligence period. Therefore, a due diligence fee is nonrefundable unless the parties specifically agree that it will be and under what circumstances. An earnest money deposit is more akin to deposits in other types of deals, in that it may or may not be refundable. This type of deposit is refundable if the deal is terminated before the due diligence period ends but nonrefundable if the due diligence period ends before the deal is terminated.

Real Estate Contract for Sale
Iowa
If a property is under contract as "seller financed" is it possible for the last buyer to enter into an option to buy contract with a new buyer?
The current owner of a property is under contract making monthly payments with the previous seller/title holder who is financing the loan. The property under contract is not occupied by the current owner. Another party is interested in buying the property, but desires to do research first, and would like to enter into a 6-12 month option to buy contract with the current owner. Is it possible for two contracts to exist on the same property?
Brad B.
Typically interests in real estate are assignable - meaning either the buyer or the seller could sell their rights under the contract to another party. An interested buyer could also enter into a contract where the second buyer have the right to buy the property even though the seller doesn't have full legal title to the property yet. Assuming there is no contractual provision restricting the assignment of rights under the contract, Buyer I and Buyer II could enter into an agreement that states that Buyer II would have the option to purchase Buyer I's interest under the contract. If Buyer II executed the option, then Buyer II would start making the payments are required by the contract. It's important to note that Buyer I would still be liable to make the payments to seller if Buyer II failed to do so. As an agreement between Buyer I and Buyer II does not change the contract between Buyer I and Seller. If the Seller is involved, the original contract could be amended or assigned to Buyer II. As an alternative, Buyer I and Buyer could enter into an agreement where upon Buyer II's executing their option to buy the real estate, Buyer II would provide funds to Buyer I, who would in turn pay Seller what is owned under the contract. Buyer I would then be obligated to convey the real estate to Buyer II. Depending on the facts there might be other alternatives or possible solutions. Each matter depends on the facts. An attorney would be able to review the transaction and make a determination of what the best course would be given the client's needs.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
