Real Estate Litigation
Real estate disputes are increasingly common in today’s world. Whether you are a residential or commercial property owner, a condominium association, a property management company, or a commercial real estate developer, there is a good chance you will find yourself in a real estate dispute at some point.
Some real estate disputes can be resolved out of court, but real estate litigation becomes necessary when the parties cannot agree to a solution.
What is Real Estate Litigation?
Real estate litigation is any type of a legal dispute arising out of real property or an interest in real property.
Real estate litigation could include a dispute that arises during the acquisition of property, or it could be a dispute arising out of ownership rights or other interest in a property. Real estate litigation is a tool used by – and against – real estate agents and brokers, buyers and sellers, and landlords and tenants in order to pursue legal rights, and redress perceived or experienced wrongs.
