Real Estate Contract Amendments and Reinstatements
Terminating a contract is not always the best answer and is not the only option that a seller has if the buyer is in default. Have you every thought that a buyer had some real problems and only needed some time to get things worked out and would then be a good payer? Well if that was the case what does the buyer do? This class will talk about amending contracts and how that can be done. We will also discuss reinstating contacts, how and when that might be appropriate.
