Overview

This course, presented by real estate attorney Erica Crohn Minchella, will review the challenges raised for real estate contracts after the Covid lockdown was declared, the multiple bid offers, the bids over the asking price, and the requirements to address problems with the property that didn't come through inspections or appraise at the contract price.

The discussion will include the expected rise in foreclosures, short sales, deeds in lieu of foreclosure, consent foreclosures, REO sales, and the impact on the selling cycle from defaulted mortgages.

We will also examine various options for distressed homeowners.


Learning Objectives:

  1. Gain an understanding of the underlying changes to the real estate market

  2. Identify the lawyer's role in addressing issues regarding the purchase and sale to avoid the need for litigation down the road

  3. Discuss the impact of new construction and how to review the contract in light of significant price changes due to supply chain delays

  4. Review options for assisting homeowners in financial distress
