We had an understanding that no fee would be charged if the home wasn’t sold. However, a new clause now imposes a $3000 fee for services rendered. What alternatives do we have?
Hey, did you get a chance to review the contract details? I never imagined this fee would come into play even though the home didn’t sell. Has anyone tackled a similar issue? Curious to hear your thoughts!
hey, maybe its worth contacting legal aid or negotiating directly. if the fee was added later, you might challenge its enforceability. i had a similar issue and a quick chat helped clear the misunderstandings a bit.
Based on my experience, reviewing every detail of the agreement is crucial. It is advisable to examine how the new fee was introduced and whether it violates any of the understood terms. Seeking a legal opinion might offer clarity on whether the clause is enforceable since it was not part of the original understanding. Establishing clear records of all communications with the agent could also support any negotiations for waiver or amendment of the fee. Transparency on both sides may yield more equitable arrangements.
Hey, have you asked if the fee is negotiable or even if it’s enforceable? I’d consider requesting a detailed breakdown of the charge. Also, did you think about consulting another broker for a second opinion? What’s your take on this approach?
