I had know idea so many private litigation lawyers were licensed real estate brokers.[/quote]They are. I was actually thinking of PMing you to refer you to one.
A member of the CA state bar or licensee with the CA Board of Accountancy isn’t required to have four consecutive years of RE salesperson experience to qualify to sit for the RE broker exam, as everyone else is. They are allowed to sit for it by virtue of their education and licensure alone.
I would take a wild stab in the dark here and make the assumption that your title may not exactly be “perfect” as it relates to your easement, especially if that road-easement is the only egress/ingress of the servient tenement user’s property.
