What I learned from the Most Difficult ClosingI’ve Ever Encountered“LIQUIDATED DAMAGES”a ZOOM Realtor® Learning Series![]() Thursday, April 1st | 10.00 AM – 11.00 AMLuxeSF introduces this new program series which distills wisdom from difficult real estate transactions and translates that knowledge into detailed and actionable learning that helps other Realtors avoid those very same challenges. A liquidated damages provision is a boilerplate, but rarely invoked, addition to every real estate contract, but when activated, it carries significant risk for uninitiated buyers and their agents. However, the recent tsunami of real estate contracts negotiated and signed for “sight unseen” properties during the COVID-19 pandemic has driven this issue to the surface, much to the chagrin of agents who have not previously encountered the situation, let alone the monetary and relationship penalties that erupt as part of the process. Prominent San Francisco and Marin-based Realtor, Tyler Stewart has walked the walk. In this in-depth and candid conversation she outlines the facts of a transaction that cut right to the center of the liquidated damages issue, reprises the surrounding discourse that accompanied the dispute and delivers the priceless learning she drew from the experience. Let hers be a lesson to others. The attorney who represented Tyler in the process, Chris Skelton, will join the conversation to provide the supporting litigator's perspective. Vigorous audience Q & A is encouraged. FEATURING: ![]() TYLER STEWART Tyler Stewart has been a top performing Bay Area real agent for 10 years and sold over $100m in property in 2020.
