house sale
ufmccarthy asked:


Rented a house on Feb 15, 2008 from an owner via a property mgtmt group. Then on March 22, recieved a letter from another realtor that says the house is in pre foreclosure and they are going to do a short sale. Do I have any rights what so ever? The original property mgtmnt had no idea that is was in foreclosure.

My mother-in-law needs to sale a house she ownes. At this point the actual house is un-livable. It is really run down and needs a lot of work. The house is on a 1/2 acre in a prime location (located in NM). If we did sale the house we would be selling it more for the property value then the house value. Can a realtor handle something like this (because it wont pass any type of inspection) or would she need to sell it on her own? How can she ensure she is covered legally?

Upon sale of my house, we agreed to have flashing fixed on the roof because of an inspection flaw. We had it fixed by a neighbor who’s a roofer, and submiited the receipt of work that was done to the realtor. Now a year after the sale, they contacted their lawyer with threats to sue us for $6000 because they are not happy with the work done. We had did what was asked us, hired a competent roofer and and had no idea they weren’t happy. Are we still liable?
They forwarded us a long list of repairs, way beyond anything presented to us before the sale of the house. We can’t afford to hire a lawyer, let alone pay $6000. Thank you so much for your help.
