Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
I was employed at a real estate brokerage, and then left the company. I had a property in escrow before I left, and it closed after I left. Since I was the agent for the Seller, the Seller asked me sign to sign the original contract on his behalf, which I did. After that the owner himself signed all disclosures, addendums, contingency removals, and closing paperwork. My old company now wants me to explain �why the signatures look different.� I am not sure if I can get in trouble for this. I figure this is a ploy for them to withhold paying me on the transaction. What should I say to them?

Trouble??
Gee, I don't know. How about violation of DRE rules limiting you to acting only when under the licensed brokers employment. Salesmen can not act on their own with clients. Suggest you hire an experienced RE attorney to advise you specifically.
