Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I recently purchased a home in san diego from a trustee of a revocable living trust, transaction is closed now that home is mine but the seller still owes me $1500 credit for broken appliances, which was taken off escrow instruction because our escrow officer said "she has no authority to enforce such an agreement". The seller is refusing to give me that money now. I live in San diego and the seller is in Washington currently. Can this be filed in small claims court in San diego since the revocable living trust was created in san diego (I am assuming that it was)? Thanks for your help!

You can file in San Diego County Small Claims Court because the contract was entered into and was to be performed in San Diego County. No other reason is needed. Collecting a small claims judgment from a defendant with no assets any longer in the state, however, may be a whole other story.
