Real estate transactions can fall apart even after a contract is signed. Collapsed or collapsing sales are becoming increasingly common, often leading to financial loss, legal disputes, and missed opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Understanding why these deals fail—and how early legal planning can reduce risk—is essential in today’s volatile real estate market.
Many service agreements outline pricing, timelines, and deliverables—but often overlook one critical protection: the cost recovery clause. This provision can determine who pays legal fees if a dispute arises, making it essential for both businesses and consumers.
