2018年3月, 我在Las Vegas 买了一全新SFH,4B/3B,2 Suites,租给两对年轻人,兄妹俩和他们各自的男女朋友, 直到现在。6年来一直交租正常,因为是全新物业,没有任何纠纷,租金一直低于市场。这期间哥哥结婚,于去年底生下一孩。 今年四月, 按照租约, 给了60天搬走的email, 并告诉我因为幼儿不便, 希望只用email联络。 我立即在Zillow上用同样的租金(低于市场价约 $500)招租, 立即收到50+申请人, 挑选了最好的三户人家, 准备飞去LV秀房。招租的同时,也萌生了卖掉此屋的想法,毕竟long distance, 不利用管理,而且此屋是我rental porfolios 里return最差的。又与一些cash offer 的经纪聊了聊,大致可以得到Net $486K (FMV $586K) cash offer with ALL CLOSING COST PAID。 秀房前与现租户联系好时间,送礼物感谢他们提供了便利, 见面时问他们搬走的原因,说是准备搬去与当地的父母同住以尽快存钱好拥有自己的房子。我告诉他们可以买这个房,并告诉他们愿意以$486K 卖给他们,但他们需要付all the closing cost, 因为我给了他们$100K discount,从此埋下祸根。 我回到家之后,6月7日,租客送来了FSBO的purchase contract,写了$1K earnest money, I siged,opened escort,准备6月27日closing。之间要我付各种sellers side 费用,其实所有的sellers closing cost不会超过$5K,我觉得在我给了他们$100K 的discount之后,还要为几百元的小数斤斤计较,而且还在Addendum里写上:他们随时要cancel contract if there are any hidden expenses they do not know. 我感觉很不好,6 月19日,我告诉他们如果想买这房,必须去雇一个买房经纪,因为我觉得无论以什么价格卖给他们,他们都不会appreciate。6 月19日,我同时照会title company stop ordering HOA sales document, wait for new purchase contract from buyer's agent, if any. 同时租客没有在6月27日前拿到他们希望的loan rate, 无法closing on time, 我也没有签任何Addendum to extend the term, 我以为这事就这样结束了。 今天下午,收到一封LV local Law firm Demanding Letter to close the house. Following is the last portion of the letter: Based on some of your correspondence with my client, it seems that you may believe that you were able to repudiate the contract because my clients asked you to pay the resale package fees and refund the security deposit. However, my clients had a right to actually demand both of those things by statute. As a seller, you had an obligation to provide the HOA resale package pursuant to NRS 116.4109. When you sell a rental property, you have a duty to convey the security deposit to the new owner under NRS 118A.244. Here, my clients would have been the new owners. In other words, my clients had an affirmative right to those things whether they were added to the contract or even requested. Moreover, as you may know, property is unique. In this particular case, it is already my clients’ home and they wish to remain in it. Accordingly specific performance is appropriate. Stoltz v. Grimm, 100 Nev. 529, 533-34, 689 P.2d 927, 930 (1984). In other words, my clients have a right to ask a Court to force you to complete the sale and compensate them for the damages caused by your failure. Offer If you agree to close escrow no later than August 28th or such reasonable time after that as may be convenient to my clients and provide written assurances to that effect to my office no later than August 14th, then this matter can be considered fully resolved. My clients will waive their right to demand the HOA resale package and will not pursue the rent that they paid that they should not have been obligated to pay. You will be required to return the security deposit pursuant to NRS 118A.244. However, if you do not accept this offer in confirmed writing by August 14th or you do not complete close of escrow by August 28th1 by delivering clean and clear title to my 1 Or such reasonable time after August 28th which may be convenient for my clients. clients, then my clients reserve the right to take all lawful actions to uphold their full rights. This may include, but is not limited to, filing suit demand specific performance as well as damages for your failure to deliver the HOA reseal package, the full security deposit, attorney’s fees, and any other damages caused by your failure to uphold your obligations. 被这人气到了,我怕麻烦想简化事情,结果惹来麻烦。这世界上也竟然有律师愿意代理他们。 他们究竟有没有一个case? 我怎么办比较合理? 不想激怒他们,毕竟房子在他们手里。 这样的人,通过这样的方式得到我的屋,能住的安稳吗? 谢谢!
同時,隔行如隔山,舉一個例子,在 DC 有某華人法律事務所的某秘書因為經常需要上法院處理文書工作,久而久之,就認為自己可以自行代理其他人的法律問題, 但是等真正出事了,當時承審的法官不會管你有多少經驗,法官關心的是,當事人有沒有可以在 DC 執行業務的律師執照,如果你沒有,當事人就觸法。所以盡管你有許多買賣的經驗,但是您應該仍然不是專業的地產經紀人。
你的問題的關鍵是,兩個字,"I siged"... 其他"理由"的都是無用的點綴. (你應該看到這個文件之時,就雇用 agent 幫你把關,或是雇用地產律師,幫你字字斟酌。) 當你這兩件都沒有做的時候,你就已經輸了。
特別是你應該在簽字之前告知對方"告诉他们如果想买这房,必须去雇一个买房经纪",而不是簽字之後再說。同時,讓十萬的價格是你的決定,不是對方的,你自己降價,事後又覺得划不來,這是你的問題。
老貓會建議您,找律師與對方律師談判,爭取雙方各讓一步,完成交易,不要在這裡浪費時間。 反正最終,這個房子會是對方的,唯一的問題是,你會收到房屋買賣全款還是拖個三五年,最終扣除法律訴訟費用與您來回往返的費用,你得到 0 。問題就是這樣簡單。記住,你本人不在當地,同時對方就住在其中,付不付你錢,對方無差。
老貓之所以做這種義工,是因為律師必須抽出一定比例的時間來做公益的服務,但是房東,講白了,不需要這麼做,你的工作就是錙銖必較,因為你經營的是營利事業,不適慈善事業。

所以,老貓要是您,因為要從事這一類的工作,為何不去考一個專業地產經紀人的執照,以後再面對類似情況,就有話語權 !
不然怎么会被动成这样?
因为拿了financial's all series licenses, 之后就躺平了。而且现在要精简人生,更没有动力了。
而且就算我有执照,我就是不喜欢錙銖必較,我对房客也是这样。也因为这个性情,才可以接住上帝砸下来的馅饼儿,才得以这些年平安顺遂。这些馅饼儿,我是想掰一块给善良、努力工作买不上房子的下一代,结果就悲剧了!
再谢您的好言好语。
