Real Estate Sales and Purchase Attorney in Los Angeles County
Serving Los Angeles, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Pasadena, Burbank, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Long Beach, and surrounding areas
If you’re involved in the sale or purchase of real estate in California and facing a legal issue, Anahid Agemian can help. She advises and represents buyers, sellers, brokers, and agents in disputes arising from real estate transactions. Disputes often involve failure to meet contract contingencies or non-disclosure of property defects. California real estate contracts frequently require mediation before taking a case to arbitration or court. Anahid is experienced in pre-mediation negotiations, mediation, arbitration, and real estate litigation.
Breach of Real Estate Sale Contract (Escrow Cancellations)
Buyers and sellers are legally obligated to follow the terms of their purchase agreement — including completing the sale or properly removing contingencies.
Most California real estate contracts include contingencies such as inspections, appraisals, or financing. If a buyer cannot fulfill a contingency in good faith, they are entitled to cancel escrow and receive their deposit back. However, if a buyer walks away from the deal without cause, the seller may be entitled to keep the deposit as liquidated damages.
If a seller refuses to proceed with the sale after the buyer has satisfied or waived all contingencies, the buyer may pursue a specific performance claim to compel the sale. The law does not permit sellers to back out just because they changed their mind or received a better offer.
In these cases, Anahid Agemian can help enforce your rights — whether it means compelling the sale, recovering your escrow deposit, or seeking reimbursement for out-of-pocket costs and attorney’s fees.
You may need legal support if:
A buyer refuses to complete a valid sale
A seller fails to transfer property as agreed
Either party violates the terms of escrow
Anahid can guide you through negotiation, mediation, or litigation to resolve the issue.
Non-Disclosure of Real Estate Defects
California law requires property sellers to disclose known defects or any issues they reasonably should have known about — such as structural damage or unpermitted construction.
Non-disclosure can occur through:
Intentional or negligent misrepresentation
Concealment or fraud
Breach of contract or fiduciary duty
Sellers, as well as their brokers and agents, have a legal obligation to provide full and honest disclosure. In some cases, property inspectors may also be liable for failing to identify material issues that affect the property’s value.
If you purchased property and later discovered undisclosed or hidden defects, Anahid can help you pursue compensation through negotiation or legal action — holding the responsible parties accountable.
