Selling Houses When Co-Owners Disagree

February 19 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

This class, How to Sell Houses When Co-Owners Disagree, will discuss the relatively straightforward process of Partition lawsuits, where one party wants to sell and the other does not. This does not relate to lot splits. Instead, this topic actually has much more relevance to today’s residential and commercial real estate industry, which can help Realtors sell more houses. The target audience is salespeople.

In fact, there are many California homeowners who feel locked into co-ownership with a sibling, an ex-partner, or a co-investor who doesn’t want to sell. Many of these people are being turned away by agents who don’t know how to help them. What’s more, co-ownership arrangements like these are on the rise, as more couples choose to buy homes together without being married. A clear understanding of the partition action process, and the liberation it offers, is essential in today’s real estate market.

Eli Underwood is an experienced, high-integrity attorney who specializes in partition law. He is the instructor on partitions for the California Association of Realtors and sits on the Executive Committee of the Real Estate Section for the California Lawyer’s Association (formerly the State Bar Real Estate Section).

Eli is on a mission to educate California Realtors about how to help people trapped in unhappy co-ownership arrangements so that we can collaborate on setting these people free. He is offering these engaging presentations to AORs and brokerages around California free of charge and always gets rave reviews from attendees. Mr. Underwood can customize the presentation to fit time slots of 30-90 minutes, including time for your members’ questions.
