Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Generally, the contract requires you to use small claims if the amount in question is within the jurisdiction of small claims court. There are also statutory penalties of up to $1,000 when someone does not release funds in situations like this.

File an action in the appropriate Court of Law. The Court has experience in this area, they are well aware of what is going on and will not be so easily fooled or disuaded by an uncooperative seller.

These type of arbitrations are least expensive if they are held by your local real estate realtor board. You can also hire a private arbitrator. These arbitrations are generally binding so it is important who you chose as an arbitrator. If you need assistance, please contact me.
