After switching from Real Estate A to B for selling my mum’s property, A now demands a $9k commission and threatens legal action. Any advice on resolving this dispute?
I recently encountered a similar issue where one agent tried claiming fees despite a clear contractual change. My experience suggests carefully reviewing all agreements signed with the agents and checking if there are any clauses about cancellation or switching services. In my case, seeking legal advice helped clarify our positions and provided a basis for negotiation without litigation. It is crucial to document every communication and, if possible, involve a mediator to facilitate discussions. This proactive approach often dissuades aggressive legal threats while protecting your interests effectively.
hey, i totally get the hassle. i sorted things out by re-checking my contracts and even got rough advice from a lawyer. double-check your papers and stand your ground, dont let them bully ya into extra fees.
I wonder if their commission clause was ever truly binding? Curious if anyone noticed ambiguous cancellation terms in their agreement. It might help to have a quick chat with a mediator. Has anyone else navigated a similar murky clause successfully?
Having worked with real estate contracts in the past, I found that clarity in the documented terms is key. It is important to thoroughly review your existing agreement to see if there are any conditions that might support your decision to switch agents. In a situation similar to yours, an independent legal consultation proved invaluable in confirming whether the commission claim was enforceable. A clear understanding of all contractual clauses, along with detailed records of all communications, can significantly strengthen your position and mediate a resolution that prevents unnecessary legal complications.
hey, i’ve been there. i relooked over the contract, and some grim fine print helped me fend off extra fees. maybe give the docs another read and get someone to mediate if it gets messy. good luck!
