A specific performance action asks a court to compel the other party to complete a real estate sale as agreed in the contract.
In California, courts consider factors such as the uniqueness of the property, feasibility of enforcement, and availability of alternative remedies.
Specific performance is a court order requiring a party to fulfill the terms of a real estate contract, rather than awarding only monetary damages.
Elements include a valid contract, readiness to perform, and appropriate timing. The process typically involves filing a complaint, seeking any needed interim relief, discovery, and a hearing to determine if performance is required.

Specific performance is a court order to complete the real estate contract as agreed. It is often used when property is unique and monetary damages would not fully fix the loss. You should discuss alternatives with your attorney to determine if performance is the right remedy in your case.
In California availability depends on contract terms and fairness. Courts consider whether specific performance is appropriate when damages are inadequate. A judge weighs property uniqueness, feasibility of enforcement, and whether granting performance would cause inequality.
Damages are an alternative remedy but may not be available or enough for real estate deals. Whether to seek damages or performance depends on the contract, property type, and what outcome you hope to achieve.
Prepare the contract, notices, title reports, any correspondences, and a list of questions for the consultation. Bring proof of readiness to perform and any deadlines or contingencies relevant to the deal.
