From TOPA Trouble to TOPA Triumph

Selling a multiunit property in Washington, D.C., means navigating the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA)—a process that can add $30,000 to $100,000+ in unexpected costs if not handled properly. Legal fees, extended holding costs, and price reductions from prolonged negotiations can eat into your profits. Worse, non-compliance can lead to civil fines of up to $50,000 per violation, lawsuits from tenants, and even forced contract reversals.

What You’ll Learn in This Seminar:

✅ The True Costs of TOPA – How sellers lose an average of $30,000 to $75,000 due to legal fees ($5,000–$25,000), extended carrying costs ($10,000–$30,000 per month), and price reductions ($15,000–$50,000) from lengthy negotiations.

✅ Common Pitfalls & Legal Risks – Missed deadlines, improper tenant notifications, and bad legal advice can lead to fines, injunctions, and six-figure financial losses.

✅ Fines & Legal Consequences – Failure to comply with TOPA’s strict rules can result in: Up to $50,000 in civil fines per violation

Court-ordered sale reversals, forcing sellers to start over

Tenant lawsuits demanding damages or delaying the sale indefinitely

✅ Proven Strategies to Save $30K+ – How to streamline the process, minimize legal fees, and avoid unnecessary delays.

✅ Real Case Studies – How D.C. property owners successfully saved $30,000–$100,000+ by handling TOPA correctly.

Whether you’re preparing to sell or simply want to understand how TOPA impacts your property’s value, this seminar will equip you with the insider knowledge to turn a TOPA challenge into a TOPA triumph—saving money, avoiding legal trouble, and closing your deal smoothly!
