More information is needed to evaluate the facts in your inquiry. Appraisals are subjective. So it is unsurprising there are different opinions about the value of the home. This is not fraud (misrepresentation is a synonym). It may be negligence. More information is needed to see how negligent the... View More

Your commission is yours after you receive it, and not before. It has nothing to do with the company or any "referral" fee. Are you trying to divert or delay income to avoid this years alternative minimum tax?

Generally speaking, extrinsic fraud exists where one obtains a judgment in court by producing some kind of false or fraudulent evidence which could not have been discovered by the adverse party at the time it was presented, and was only discovered afterward.
Let us say Sept 3 - the due date is a Sunday. Is a consumer protected from any ‘late fees’ if paid amount due is paid the following open day? Monday?
answered on Nov 6, 2017
You need to look at the terms of the contract you entered with the creditor. Generally speaking, if the due date is a day the business is closed, it is generally accepted practice to give a grace period until the next business day. I have not researched the Civil Code on this issue recently, but... View More

The licensing body of the brokerage (SEC, FINRA for most securities) and the local realty association + state licensing division for real estate brokers have ethical codes that must be followed. Contact me directly (preferably via email) to go over the activity and I can give you an opinion.

Your question does not provide enough information to give you a proper answer. If you are saying that you paid a deposit and now the landlord is not returning your calls, I would try to stop payment on the check. If that's not an option, I would write a letter requesting your deposit back... View More

5 hours later and no answer! Isn't there even 1 lawyer that knows the answer to my question?
answered on Aug 22, 2017
Absolutely no obligation. Multiple offers is a very common situation and they may have already had other full asking price offers. Or there may already be an offer over asking and your offer, or broker is giving everyone a best and final offer chance. And an ad is not a binding contract either.... View More

Yes, most brokers are licensed through either the Dept. of State (Real Estate Brokers for instance) or a private organization (FINRA for stock brokers for instance). You can go to their website to check the status of your broker.
misinformation and fraudulent claims. Do I have any claims or recourse at this time? Thank you.
answered on Aug 7, 2017
You may have recourse, but fraud claims are extremely fact intensive, so an attorney would need to review all of the specific information to give you a comprehensive evaluation of the merits of your claim(s). That said, I would recommend organizing all information relevant to this situation,... View More
