My REALTOR® friend, Patti reminded me of one of the most basic rules of real estate; it takes two to sell and one to buy. This adage echoes what should be common sense and yet, it’s fairly common for us to receive listings and offers signed by other than the principal (the real purchaser or the seller) or a representative without proper power of attorney. When listing a property,
REALTORS® must usually depend (initially) on real property tax records and information given by the seller.
Sufficetosay,therearetimesweare
surprisedbywhotherealowner(s) are once the title report is received. In one recent transaction, the title report
revealed a completely different owner than the one who accepted the offer and the person on titlewasdifferentfromtheownerlistedonthe taxrolls.Luckily,wesuccessfullyuntangledthat one.Commonly,titleisvestedinmoresellersthan initially disclosed. I recently read a legal opinion
which indicated that clear written intent to sell should suffice as a seller’s agreement to sell. Not sure I agree with that one. Here’s the problem. Listing and selling involve much more than simple permission. Among other things, it includes seller’s declarations regarding the property; inclusions, maintenance fees, utilities and the like. Sellers are required to make full disclosure, they are asked to assist with the sale and much more. A listing agreement is the express employment agreement between seller and their agent.Naturally,asalescontract,whenaccepted byallowners,maynegatetheneedforalisting agreement but unless all sellers unanimously agree to the terms of the sale, problems could occur at any step along the way. Sales contracts received without all required signatures are non- bindingonthesellerswhodonotsign.It’salittle morethananagreementtopossiblyagree.Buyers andsellerswhoreceiveoffersacknowledgedby a personal representative, whether it be the
sales agent, a spouse or a friend, acting without proper power of attorney, should realize that such agreements have little validity. In the case of a sales agreement, Patti is correct. It only takes one signature. A purchase agreement might contain multiple names but it’s the person who signs the contract who is bound (even if it’s the real estate agent). Here are a few important guidelines about signatures. First, make sure the seller is really the owner. Secondly, make sure all owners have signed the sales contract or in the case of the buyer,makesurethepersonwhosignsis,infact, thepurchaser.Lastly,whendealingwithabsentee sellers (especially foreigners) or multiple owners, life is much simpler if someone has power of attorney. Escrow will want a specific power of attorney relating to the sale at hand. Escrow companiesarehappytoassistwiththis.Whenit comestimetosign,everyoneonbothsidesofthe transactionmustdefinitelysign!
