A breach occurs when one party fails to perform as promised under the contract, such as failing to close on the sale by the deadline or neglecting contingencies. Remedies may include damages, termination, or specific performance, depending on the terms of the agreement and the impact of the breach.
Remedies vary by situation. Common options include seeking monetary damages to cover losses, pursuing rescission to unwind the contract, or requesting specific performance to compel completion of the purchase.
The timeline depends on case complexity, court schedules, and whether the dispute settles. Some matters resolve within months; others proceed to trial over a year or more.
While you may handle a simple dispute yourself, real estate contracts involve complex legal terms and deadlines. A licensed attorney can help protect your rights and navigate California law.
