Here is how we are different

Contracts tailored around each transaction

Each property is unique, and every transaction has its own set of individual circumstances. Yet real estate agents have but a single set of fill-in-the-blank forms to use with each and every sale. How can this be? Unless a transaction falls within the limited number of preset conditions prescribed by the California Association of Realtors, most agents are ill-equipped and are unable to adequately address special circumstances in a manner that protects the client.

Unlike other real estate brokerages, Land Catchers Investments has the eyes of an experienced real estate litigation attorney on every transaction. At Land Catchers Investments, we take the time to fully understand the unique circumstances and special conditions concerning our client’s intended transaction and develop custom-drafted terms, disclosures, and addenda (as needed) to protect our client’s rights and to safeguard their interests.

ability to handle any issue that surfaces

Once a property is under contract, most real estate agents believe their job is essentially done and hand the client over to a transaction coordinator who schedules inspections, arranges signing appointments, and collects what is often meaningless pre-printed advisories from the parties. This practice is wrong. In fact, it is while a property is in escrow when an agent can provide the most value to a client…so long as they’re equipped for the job.

Many issues often surface during escrow: (i) old liens from paid-off loans show up on the preliminary title report; (ii) legal access to the property from a public street does not exist; (iii) the underwriter on the buyer’s loan imposes an impossible condition that goes beyond that which is required under the Dodd-Frank Act; (iv) a neighbor threatens a lawsuit to stall the sale. Unlike other real estate agents who merely shrug their shoulders unable to help, our agents are educated about less-common title and land use issues and have the experience to work through the problem quickly and effectively with in-house legal counsel.

special attention to help prevent lawsuits

Since the real estate bubble burst in 2008, the number of lawsuits initiated from the sale of residential real property has risen exponentially. Why isn’t the avoidance of such lawsuits on the forefront of real estate sellers’ minds when it comes to choosing their real estate representative? We at Land Catchers Investments take the time to inquire about, and fully understand, all aspects of our clients’ properties, both past and present. With that information, our agents develop disclosure schedules, including custom-drafted documents from in-house counsel if necessary, that place our clients in the best possible positions to avoid and/or defend future failure-to-disclose lawsuits. No other brokerage offers a similar in-house service that gives their clients the peace of mind they deserve!
