A real estate license is generally required for the purchase and sale of real estate, and leasing/renting of it. A license is required for the leasing or renting, or the offering to lease or rent, of real property of others for a fee, commission, compensation, or other valuable consideration pursuant to a property management employment contract. However, if the activities provided do not include leasing or renting services, a license is not required. If your friend is merely receiving the rents and maintaining the property for you, he should not need a license. Please note that a license is not required if the property manager is your direct employee.

First, I am assuming that you are licensed or do not need to be. State law requires residential builders, home improvement contractors (when labor and materials equal $600 or more), electrical contractors, fire alarm contractors, mechanical contractors and plumbing contractors to be licensed. While you have no contract, it is unclear if you provided a Notice of Commencement or a timely Notice of Furnishing. Such documents are required for placing a lien on residential property. Otherwise, you may have claims to file in court for breach of the oral contract, unjust enrichment and/or quantum meruit.

I'm trying to found out how much money is 1/6 of my property is worth. Assuming that you need an evaluation of your real estate, you do not need an attorney. Rather, you can get an appraiser to value your real estate.

If the opposing party fails to submit paperwork as ordered (assuming the referee's opinion was adopted as an order or has that effect based on the jurisdiction), you could file a motion to show cause, which shifts the burden to the other party to explain why they failed to abide by the court's order. This can then subject them to paying your attorney fees and costs that you incurred due to their failure.

Purchased home one year ago, seller's disclosures stated no signs of water damage. Seller covered up current water damage stains. Black mold was present from this water problem in the basement which was in my climate control ducting spreading it all throughout the house. Everdry had to come out and do extensive work inside and outside the foundation which was very costly, and my family in the house had been dealing with the negative side effects of the black mold for multiple months. Because damage was not disclosed upon selling, I believe the seller is liable however I have heard these cases are hard to win. Your question raises two related issues: what does the purchase agreement/Seller disclosures state exactly, and did your home inspection cover the area that was affected by the damage. These issues will help to determine whether the seller knew of the problem (or should have known) and hid the problem from you. They also would help should if you should have known of the problem through the inspection. Your case is strengthened if the seller knew or should have known and hid the information from you, while a reasonable inspection would not have shown the damage to you.
