Real Estate Transactions

Tracy Ettinghoff has over 25 years of experience in Real Estate Law and is a licensed Real Estate Attorney and licensed Real Estate Broker. We represent home buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and brokers, in disputes concerning residential transactions.

Mr. Ettinghoff has supervised thousands of Real Estate Transactions as the Responsible Broker for a major Brokerage in Orange County.  He has extensive expertise concerning the standard CAR Real Estate Purchase Contracts and forms used in sales transactions.

We can provide guidance in Short Sales, Foreclosures, Loan Modifications, or any other issue that concerns real estate. We can provide advice concerning the purchase contract (Deposit Receipt), counter offers, liquidated damage clauses, arbitration clauses, inspections, warranties, commissions, and all other aspects of typical transactions.

Proper disclosure of material facts is also handled, including the handling of claims involving an alleged failure to disclose. Many times clients come to us after all of the contracts have been signed. It is usually too late at that point to change any of the contractual terms. However, we can provide advice concerning your rights and responsibilities under the contract. If you have questions about your transactions, it is usually better to seek advice before you sign any contracts. We will review your documents and provide our expert advice concerning the effect of the contract on your transaction.

We can also handle your dispute after the contracts have all been signed and the property goes into escrow, or if it falls out of escrow. We will guide you through the transaction from start to finish, and if something goes awry, we will assist you in solving it. If necessary, we can represent you in Arbitration, Mediation, or Litigation involving the transaction.
