What the client was facing.
Our client closed on a unit and recorded title. Six months later, a second buyer claimed they had purchased and were trying to take possession. Investigation revealed the developer had double-sold and pocketed both deposits.
The strategy we deployed.
Filed reivindicación to establish our client's superior recorded title against the second buyer (which we won — first to register prevails), then civil action against the developer for return of the second buyer's funds, daños y perjuicios, and criminal complaint for fraude.
How it ended.
Our client retained the property. Developer ordered to refund the second buyer's $200,000 plus pay our client $20,000 in damages and legal fees. Criminal action pending — primary recovery already secured.
Your situation deserves the same rigor.
Every case is different, but the methodology holds: strategic pressure, credible escalation, recovery.
