Example # 1:
98 Larksmere Crt Markham
Sold in March for 960k: http://watch.ohmyhome.ca/#/mls/N3724954
Buyers walked away and resold for 850k, a drop of 110k or 11%: http://watch.ohmyhome.ca/#/mls/N3833407
Example # 2:
Sold at the peak and did not close
http://watch.ohmyhome.ca/#/mls/N3734221 first sold for 1 080 000
Sold again a few days ago.
http://watch.ohmyhome.ca/#/mls/N3834837 - now sold for 855 000
Drop of $225 000
I'm actually a lawyer so I'll answer this
Theoretically yes. In the real world, it never happens. Suing someone takes over a year and costs up to 50k up front. With no guarantees that you will recover all the fees.
In order to sue someone, you'll have to.
1) Hire a lawyer and put him to work (10-15k worth of work)
2) Review the notice of defense (5k worth of work)
3) Attend a discovery (5k worth of work)
4) Mediation (5k worth of work + mediator fees split)
5) Court (5k worth of work)
6) Appeals if necessary (5-10k)
7) Collecting money if there is any left
I forgot to mention that any back and forth emails and correspondences quickly add up at $300 an hour.
As you can see, there's a huge investment and barrier to suing someone, with no guarantees you will get back what you are suing for. It's also very difficult to prove the exact amount of loss from a sale and you risk being sued for partial expenses if you lose your case. Even if you do win, you will not recover 100% of your expenses, only a portion. Since hte process is so long and time/money consuming, stats have shown that over 90% of the cases do not make it to court and are settled or dropped.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
