Tax assessment for the year purchased was $50000 dollars under the amount being asked. When I offered less than asking and more than tax value I was told that if my offer was to be considered I had to give a serious offer. I was reluctant to make higher offer but feeling pressure to buy I raised... View More

Your question is ridiculous. You don't claim "fraud" to argue a house is priced too high. If the price is too high, don't buy it.

Not in Virginia. If you were convicted of the offense in Virginia, then the conviction is permanent and can not be removered or expunged from your criminal record.
I was met by two realtors working together. They pumped me up like a car salesman as to how easy the sale would be and the price I was asking was almost guaranteed. Signed with them. 4 days later she wanted to drop the price. I agreed to on the 7th day. We dropped by 11k. She wanted to drop... View More

If you feel that your broker committed a breach of duty you are free to hire an attorney and file suit. Contact a couple of attorneys, but unfortunately you might find it cost prohibitive. Some causes of action, such as Missouri's Merchandising Practices Act, however, allow a prevailing... View More

It is certainly possible, but the chances of recovery are dependent on very specific facts that are not provided here, such as any contracts signed and any representations made by your stockbroker. That being the case, I recommend you organize everything in your possession related to this matter,... View More

You could file a lawsuit for a declaration stating that the sale is null and void. But that seems unnecessary in this circumstance. You can probably just walk away from the deal. It happens everyday.

You state that they are trying to charge you for something without investing time. What does your written contract state as to what is due?
so as to speed up the process of closing and circumvent the cost of a survey for their client.

Short answer is likely not, but you need to get off line and into an attorneys office in your area asap. There is just no way to say what should be done via this online forum and without reviewing all of the closing paperwork ect.
Good luck,

The viability of a lawsuit is a very fact specific determination that cannot possibly be answered definitively without more details. That said, you may have a case depending on specific representations that may have been made by the trader. I recommend organizing everything you have in your... View More
And other money related incidents. Also the notary that notrized my documents had a license that was expired since 2013. (All verfied through Michigan licensing department). Does this affect the validity of any of my paperwork or my deed? Can I file a formal complaint ?
Thank you !

My shipment hasn't arrived and now find out the carrier the broker hired had no insurance. Also in terms of agreement any court proceedings were to be handled under Florida law. I'm in Montana. Any suggestions please thank you

Absolutely no way to say for sure without first reviewing the documents. If the contract is governed by Florida Law, then you need to consult with a Florida attorney.
Good luck,
I singed the contract on Nov. 16, then tried to back out on Jan 1 due to inactivity. On Jan. 1, I was told that I would lose my earnest money deposit if I backed out.

If you put in an offer and then revoked the offer in writing BEFORE the seller accepted, you should be able to walk away from the contract. However, Michigan courts have held that signatures on the (bottom lined) merely evidence that the Parties have an agreement. Courts will also look at the... View More
My realtor and listing agent are in the same office. The listing agent keeps saying I should find houses that are not hers. We have the down payment and all. She tells people I am a risk and not to take offer. She will even refuse to give my realtor the code to a house.

Take these facts to a lawyer's office. Something is seriously wrong if a listing agent in a brokerage you ware working with is telling people you are a risk. If your realtor is telling you the listing agent says this, I would question whether the realtor is telling you the truth.

I'm sure you can find an attorney who will consider taking your case, if you look hard enough and if your case has merit. An attorney can sue the accounting firm, the trustee and the trust attorney.

You are a sales agent for your broker. You do not define much of anything for your broker as a matter of law. But, as a practical matter in the marketplace for decades now, agents who produce have more power than their supervising brokers. As long as you are producing and covering more than the... View More

No way to say without first reviewing the contract documents. The refund of EMD can be a tricky topic that depends upon a variety of facts. Consult with a real estate attorney in the Hollywood, FL area.
