Why Chen Law Housing

Over his career, Jerry Chen has handled hundreds of real estate, inheritance and divorce cases. Looking back at the ones that ended up in court, the problem was usually planted much earlier: at the moment the contract was signed, or even when the family decided whose name to buy the home in. A closer look at the start can save years of litigation later.

He has also seen many people run into a seller who hid defects, a buyer whose payment fell through, or an agent who only wanted to close the deal, with no idea how to protect themselves, losing millions or even tens of millions of NT dollars. Others never planned their estate, and their families ended up in court over how to divide a single home, or in a dispute with the tax authority.

So he decided to step in at the very front of the transaction: as a licensed sales agent with HB Housing, he takes part in the sale itself, from viewings and contract review to payment and handover, finding the legal risks with a lawyer's eye first and protecting each deal from the source.

Neutrality principle

As a sales agent brokering between buyer and seller, the legal review is for the safety of the transaction, not to win terms for either side.

  1. Neutral toward both parties: the findings on the transcripts, the contract and the taxes are the same for the buyer and the seller.
  2. One-sided needs are referred out: if either party needs a lawyer to negotiate or assert rights for them, they are referred to another attorney to avoid a conflict of interest (Attorney Regulation Act Art. 34).
  3. Everything goes through HB Housing: listings, offers, signing and fees are all handled through the HB Housing Jianguo Minsheng franchise.

What clients say

Behind every transaction is an important decision for a family.

Ms. LinSelling an inherited homeSample

My father left an old walk-up, and one of the five siblings kept refusing to sell. Attorney Chen used the majority-rule procedure under Land Act Art. 34-1, handling the notices and the court deposit step by step. The home sold, and the family did not fall out over it.

Mr. HuangEmigrated; property in TaiwanSample

I live overseas and our home in Taiwan had sat empty for years. From the overseas authorization documents and the tax estimate to the sale and transfer, most of it was handled remotely, so I did not have to fly back again and again.

Mrs. ChangInheritance registration and saleSample

After my husband passed away, I learned we had to register the inheritance and file the estate tax, and I also wanted to move somewhere smaller. Everything from the inheritance procedure to the sale was handled end to end.

Mr. ChenFirst-time buyerSample

Before signing, Attorney Chen pulled the transcript and found a provisional attachment had just been registered on the seller's home, and advised us to hold off on paying. We bought a home with a clean title instead.

Ms. WuSeller; past water leakSample

There had been a leak that was repaired years ago, and I was not sure whether to mention it. Attorney Chen suggested putting the repair records into the disclosure statement and contract. There was no dispute after handover.

Mr. LeePlanning before buyingSample

Before buying, we compared putting the home in my name, 50/50 with my wife, or our children's names, including gift tax and the future income tax on sale. Seeing the numbers side by side made the choice easy.

Mrs. HsuCo-owned home after divorceSample

My ex-husband and I co-owned a home and could not agree on anything. Attorney Chen set out the sale process and how the proceeds would be split. Once both of us agreed, it sold smoothly.

Mr. ChouSelling and buying againSample

Selling the old home and buying the new one was a tight schedule. Attorney Chen flagged the deadline and conditions for the replacement-purchase tax refund and listed every document, and we got part of the Land Value Increment Tax back.
