What constitutes a legally perfect sale?
It's important to recall the basics of civil law in terms of sales. A sale is perfect when there is agreement on the item and the price.
Some malicious individuals use this article to lock sellers into their sales project to force them to accept new conditions.
Indeed, when an owner himself proposes a perfectly identifiable real estate property (the item) and the seller informs him of the requested price and the seller accepts it, then the sale is legally made.
If this agreement exists on a document, such as a purchase offer, for example, and the buyer disappears, then the seller will have to request the resolution of the sale. This action takes place in court with a significant delay and costs for procedures and lawyers.
What should be done to avoid legal problems when wanting to sell a property?
To protect its clients from such misadventures, the agency ALLARD COOKE & Associates uses sales mediation mandates. Buyers can address their offers to the agency without the seller being committed to the first comer. ALLARD COOKE & Associates collects the offers and presents them to its seller after having carried out a reputation, solvency, and funds origin study of all candidates. The seller remains free to accept to sign an offer or to refuse them all.
This way, they avoid the inconveniences of forced sales to unsolvable and/or malicious contenders that would still immobilize the property for many months waiting for a judgment that breaks the purchase offer.
In conclusion, the agency ALLARD COOKE & Associates, with its sales mediation mandates and its high level of legal competence in matters of pre-contracts widely recognized in the field, protects property-sellers from all the troubles of an increasingly complex real estate transaction.
