Broker Disputes
We are top-rated California real estate broker attorneys and California real estate broker lawyers who represent brokers, finders, buyers and sellers of commercial, industrial and multi-tenant real estate
Our attorneys and lawyers will assist California commercial and industrial real estate brokers, buyers and sellers regarding California listing agreements, commercial industrial and multi-tenant real estate sales, broker fees, commissions and contracts, and breach of contract claims in business sales and real estate sales, including litigation, arbitration and mediation, and all other aspects of buying and selling a California commercial and industrial real estate. Some of our attorneys are AV-rated and licensed California real estate brokers, and themselves, are owners of California commercial real estate. As such, they tend to have a better understanding of the practical and investment aspects of a transaction.
A real estate broker brings buyers and sellers together, acting as a finder of investment properties. In addition, a real estate broker will often assist a business buyer or seller with negotiating and facilitating due diligence and the ultimate sale. However, unless the contract or listing agreement with the real estate broker requires these services, this may not be offered, depending on a review of all the other facts and circumstances of the transaction.
The agreement between the parties usually will set out the terms and conditions of the agreement with the real estate broker, buyer and seller of real estate, but not always. There are multiple factors to consider. Since payment to the seller and to the broker or finder is typically conditioned (but not always) on the closing of a transaction, there are sometimes disputes between the real estate broker and seller or buyer, and at times, disputes between real estate brokers of different office regarding who was the procuring cause of the real estate transaction.
We have successfully won judgments and awards of millions of dollars for our real estate broker clients who were owed commissions or fees for their work in finding buyers and sellers. We have also successfully defended fee claims on behalf of real estate owners, as well as litigated and defended claims by real estate owners against buyers and brokers, and claims by buyers against sellers, including claims for California breach of contract, specific performance, and the filing of a California lis pendens in real estate purchases.
