IMPACT: Preventing DisplacementIMPACT promotes housing stability. Our team has decades of experience in complex real estate transactions and tenant rights law, always working to prevent displacement and preserve affordable housing. We are agents, brokers and attorneys, preservation experts. We've closed 40+ transactions under the S.F. Small Sites Program (SSP). We helped write the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) and SB 1079 (Calif. Civil Code § 2924m).
SB 1079 & Trustee Sales - Attorney Richard Hurlburt (SBN 179072) represents Eligible Tenant Buyers and other Eligible Bidders, such as Nonprofit Affordable Housing Providers and some Prospective Owner-Occupants, purchasing properties at Calif. trustee sales. Call or email for rates, and then click here to pay. (Note: IMPACT has a strict non-displacement policy and will not represent prospective owner-occupant buyers who intend to unilaterally evict the current residents.) TENANTS - IMPACT advocates for tenants buying their units. There is no substitute for informed & experienced bargaining. We also enforce various tenant rights to purchase, such as: rent to own agreements, installment sale contracts, options, rights of first refusal, and the right to purchase under the SF condo conversion ordinance. We represent Eligible Tenant Buyers under Civil Code § 2924m (SB 1079). AFFORDABLE HOUISNG PROVIDERS - We represent nonprofit housing providers statewide, usually Community Land Trusts or Community Development Corporations, purchasing apartment buildings for operation as permanent affordable housing. Sellers receive fair market value and tenants become secure in their housing. FORECLOSED BUILDINGS - Important rights we proposed in a recent state law gives "eligible tenant buyers," government entities, and certain nonprofits a right to purchase at the Trustee Sale (auction) price!
