Since you are getting no responses, I’d guess you are not being taken seriously. You may have to sue to defend your rights and property. As soon as your lawyer files the lis pendens, that would stop any sale dead in it’s tracks. It would also make the property unsalable until your issue is resolved. You really should do this sooner than later. Don’t wait till the sale closes. You will lose a lot of clout that way.
Easement Wording - Lot Line Encroachment-CA - Posted by Roberta Madsen

A private developer built a “monster house” next to mine. Initial agreement with developer was:
o the Garage would sit exactly on property line;
o the House would sit exactly 5 feet from property
line.
Unfortunately Developer moved the City Survey Post and set Garage 2 feet OVER the lot line. By Line of Sight: Previously I had a full view of back neighbor’s window-with a certain amount of light and air circulation.
I notified City Planning, Building and Code
Enforcement via numerous emails and 3 formal letters.
I received an answer that garage over the property
line is illegal. Unfortunately City personnel keep
changing.
The monster home is passing Escrow. I notified Coldwell
Banker (Saratoga, CA Branch)-Sales Agent-of need for
Easement & Payment. There was no response. How can I get
paid for 200 square feet lost? What steps place
Easement in Title?
