4. Real Estate Law
5. Professional Regulatory Compliance
6. Contract Negotiation and Drafting

We provide high quality service with a start-up mentality, which means finding new or better ways of doing things. At Arora Zbar LLP, the start-up mentality means two things: agile development of new systems; and innovating solutions for pain points. While the legal industry sometimes resists efficient tools because of the reduced billed hours, we’re committed to adopting, or even creating these tools. Arora Zbar LLP applies agile development methodology, meaning we have the confidence in our ability to adapt new technology to improve efficiency. For example, we manage the firm using Asana, a project management tool designed for software development, which we customized for the practice of law. The customization is ongoing, but Asana already facilitates team collaboration, greatly reducing our need for emails and phone calls among team members. We find and fix pain points. For instance, we noticed that clients, real estate agents, and mortgage brokers lacked easy access to the closing costs associated with a home purchase. So we designed and built www.pricemyconveyance.com, a residential real estate closing cost calculator to provide clients and real estate professionals a better understanding of the total cost of a new home. Arora Zbar LLP is always learning to create better ways of providing quality and efficient legal services to our clients.

No PR(ot)EC(tion): the Recent Case of Roome v Kaiser, 2024 BCSC 940

In 2019, two BC realtors, Ms. Roome and Mr. Kaiser decided to start a real estate team together. Mr. Kaiser operated through a PREC. The relationship went sideways, Ms. Roome sued Mr. Kaiser and his PREC. The BC Supreme Court rendered judgement in May 2024 in Ms. Roome’s favour.

Mr. Kaiser argued the court-ordered damages were payable by his PREC, not himself personally. The Court disagreed, finding Mr. Kaiser signed the contract in his personal name, with no reference to his PREC, noting:

[160] Section 27(1)(c) of the Business Corporations Act, S.B.C. 2002, c. 57… provides that a company must display its name on all its contracts. The purpose of that requirement is to alert those with whom it is doing business of its status and, in particular, its limited liability.

[164] There is no reference to Cal Kaiser Personal Real Estate Corporation at all. Nor is there any evidence that Mr. Kaiser advised Ms. Roome that he was contracting with her on behalf of his PREC, that Ms. Roome was aware that he purported to do so, or even that the parties discussed the PREC’s involvement at all.

[165] Based on the above, I am satisfied that Mr. Kaiser is the proper person to be named in the action. He is personally liable for the damages that the Registrar determines are owed to Ms. Roome.

Had Mr. Kaiser added “PREC” after his name in the contract and signature line, his PREC, not himself personally, would be liable. After this judgement, missing these 4 letters probably conjured up all sorts of other 4 letter words in his mind.

Did you know? 💡

If the Buyer simply doesn’t have the cash on closing day, Section 13 of the standard form real estate Contract of Purchase and Sale will not help them. If the Buyer is selling their home and relying on that money for their purchase, Section 13 will not help if the sale collapses making them unable to purchase.

BUT...

If the Buyer’s new mortgage hasn’t funded on closing day, the Buyer’s lawyer can still close the deal, and “wait to pay” under certain conditions as set out in 13(a)-(c).

"Always ensure all deposit money is paid into a trust account in accordance with the Real Estate Services Act"

In Singh v Singh, 2024 BCSC 425, our Plaintiff client paid a $100,000 deposit to the Defendant pursuant to an assignment agreement for a townhouse being built in in Surrey, BC. The Defendant acquired his rights to purchase the property pursuant to an earlier assignment from the original purchasers in March 2021.

In 2023, a mortgage holder over the development project was granted conduct of sale after commencing foreclosure. The property was sold to a third-party purchaser around March 2023. Thus, the Defendant had no way of holding up his end of the contract and therefore the Plaintiff’s deposit was found to be returnable.

The BC Supreme Court, In deciding in favour of our client, emphasized that the deposit was paid by the Plaintiff directly to the Defendant, and the terms of the assignment agreement required the Defendant to return the deposit if completion did not occur by a specific date. Notably, even though the original purchasers were not able to recover their deposit against the developer, our client was successful against the Defendant assignor.

This case is a great reminder for realtors – always ensure all deposit money is paid into a trust account in accordance with the Real Estate Services Act.
