Frequently Asked Questions

Can I force a seller to close?

Sometimes. When a seller refuses to close without a legal excuse, a buyer may ask the court to order specific performance of the contract, or may seek damages instead. The answer depends on the contract’s terms and what each side did before the closing date.

What is a quiet title action?

A lawsuit that asks the court to declare who owns a property and to clear competing claims or defects from the title.
