Buying And Selling Real Estate Can Create Disputes

Residential purchase disputes can create real estate litigation because of the transfer of a larger asset from one owner to the other.

If you are buying a home, the seller can be held liable for several things such as:

• Failure to disclose problems on seller’s disclosure forms (nondisclosure)
• Title issues
• Quiet title action to establish ownership
• Questions of ownership
• Mechanic’s liens
• Faulty deed of trust to market the property
• Broker transaction issues
• Short sales

The buyer may also be held liable for certain things, such as if the buyer cancels the purchase of the property and losing earnest money if a sale falls through.
