QUESTION
What kind of lawyers will work on a percentage/commission only?
Asked on Feb 28th, 2015 on Contracts - Florida
More details to this question:
real estate agent did not show us the offer to purchase our home and let it expire, when we would have accepted it as 'agreed to' (shook hands with the buyer-witness present) and agent did not contact us to meet for the offer, but then instead took buyer to another home to purchase. Agent told us it was too late for us, and one week later after asking numerous times, finally sent us the 'offer' via email (could have done that on the day the offer was sent to her) and WE saw that the offer was good for 48 hours! We still had over 24 hours to accept it had we been sent the offer on time! Now we will be stuck with 2 homes. Offer was for $125,000.00 Is this also something to go to the police? Fraud? collusion? Contract law? We went to the Real Estate board already but have to wait 3.5 weeks for them to meet as they meet once per month. We hope there is a lawyer that would take a percentage in the win, as we have all documented proof of this. We can not afford to hire (pay for) a lawyer.

This sounds like a complaint about the buyers agent not conveying an offer to you as a seller. As a general rule, the buyers agent owes you no obligation to convey anything nor for you to have damages because you claim you would have accepted an offer after the fact. If this was YOUR agent you might have a case BUT it will revolve around ALL of the facts from all parties being established and considered. This is typically NOT a contingent fee type case however.
