On November 20, 2024, Denver’s 9 News interviewed Mark as a contract law expert. The case involved a real estate company that paid home owners a few thousand dollars in return for an exclusive right to list the property for forty years.
The company then recorded the contract, thus making it difficult for the owner to sell the property. After the State of Colorado revoked the company’s real estate license, the company still attempted to hold people to the contract. Mark opined that because the company no longer had the legal ability to perform its end of the bargain, the contract was illegal and unenforceable.
However, Mark also explained that because the contract contained an arbitration clause, homeowners might have to commence an arbitration to eventually obtain a decree that the recorded contract is void. So far, Colorado’s Attorney General has not taken any action against the company in question.
