My father died yesterday and my brother sister I inherited several homes and a several ranches but we want to reject the home my mother lives in. She pays a discounted $900 a year in taxes. We would be paying over $3000. Maybe my father had a reason for doing it this way. Maybe he thought...
Yes the actual numbers are much larger. My understanding is a builder's fee is completely different than for example deposit money. Deposit money can be scrutinized but a builder's fee cannot. My time is not free and I do have expenses beyond squaring up with the contractors which are the...
I am still having problems with the customer from my last post. We corrected all the ac duct according to the customer's spec which I don't even think we were required do so. The customer was ok with the corrections.
Now we are half way finished with the project and he comes up with this. He...

The customer calmed down. We are going to have a written plan for the ac contractor to correct what I consider to be minor issues and I am going to pay another contractor a few hundred dollars to observe his work. In turns in the contract it states that a customer cannot demand that something be...

I am the builder and am currently involved in a cost plus contract. We are building a large home and our AC contractor for the second time didn't follow the exact plans for installing the duct. He did in the bedrooms but he modified the plans in the rest of the house a bit. The home is in...
Thanks for all the replies. Its been helpful and even more helpful when you guys debate each other.
We took way too long building this home and I had to pay for several rate lock extensions along the way. Can I be sued (successfully) for breach of contract for the delays in construction after...
The problem with that is I have 3 more signed contracts to build. I am about a quarter of the way through the construction. Once that's that done I am out with these 2 and my will is going to be modified. My family has been putting a lot of pressure on me to dis own my stepson. He is 36 years...
My stepson and the broker negotiated for a lower price behind my back without signed change order amendments and not making changes to the original contract price. It was all done through email exchanges some of which came from my email account. So the customer ended up with a sweet deal with...
I spoke with with an attorney. He said the contract has a a provision that calls for any changes to be done in writing. There are none other than email exchanges so if I am going to be sued by the customer for the money the case becomes a case of material fact which the attorney said is hard to...
The paper work I guessing is going to show the overages went past the limit of the loan( sales price)and so the buyer is owed the money. The thing is I will be paying for those overages out of my pocket. So the customer will get an upgraded security system, windows. extended patio and here is...
His explanation was confusing. In fact in our original after closing meeting. He told me he was confused himself so he had to turn over all the number to his accountant to get things sorted out. I have since done the math and the way I see it he may have forgot to include overages paid to me in...
I have an appointment soon with the number one real-estate law and contract attorney in town. A few weeks ago I spoke with an attorney with limited experience. After looking at the documents he told me I had every right to walk into the title company and demand my money. Well recently I decided...
At closing the title company told me to expect electronic transfer of funding hours after closing. That's how it has always worked. It never happened. The next day my broker calls me into his office with this bs.
