Compel Performance Through An Action For Specific Performance

Money damages are sometimes insufficient when a property contract is breached. If a seller refuses to sell you property you have agreed to purchase, or a buyer refuses to close on a property sale, a monetary award cannot adequately compensate you—the property itself is what you wanted. Specific performance is an equitable remedy that compels the breaching party to actually perform their contractual obligations: to execute a deed, to close the sale, to transfer title, or to complete performance as promised. Sverd Law Firm has successfully pursued specific performance actions on behalf of buyers and sellers to force performance of real property contracts and transfers.

When Specific Performance Is Necessary

Real property is unique, and each parcel has its own characteristics and value. When a seller breaches a purchase agreement and refuses to convey the property you contracted to buy, money damages cannot replace what you have lost. Similarly, when a buyer wrongfully refuses to close on a property they agreed to purchase, the seller loses the benefit of their bargain. A party may also breach an obligation to transfer property as part of a settlement, divorce proceeding, or gift agreement. In each case, specific performance forces the breaching party to perform the contractual obligation and transfer the property as promised, rather than forcing you to settle for money damages.
