Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Joseph Hardy, Jr., Judge. Reviewing the summary judgment de novo, Wood v. Safeway, Inc., 121 Nev. 724, 729, 121 P.3d 1026, 1029 (2005), we reverse and remand for further proceedings.\\nThe record demonstrates that appellant Bank of America's predecessor tendered $166.50 to Nevada Association Services (NAS), which undisputedly represented 9 months of assessments. See Horizons at Seven Hills Homeowners Ass'n v. Ikon Holdings, LLC, 132 Nev. 362, 373, 373 P.3d 66, 72 (2016) (\\\"[A] superpriority lien pursuant to NRS 116.3116(2) [ (2009) ] . is limited to an amount equal to nine months of common expense assessments.\\\"). The tender of the defaulted superpriority portion of the HOA's lien cured the default as to that portion of the lien such that the ensuing foreclosure sale did not extinguish the first deed of trust. Bank of America, N.A. v. SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC , 134 Nev., Adv. Op. 72, 427 P.3d 113 (2018).\\nRespondent contends that NAS's belief that collection costs were part of the superpriority portion of the lien constituted a good-faith basis for rejecting the tender. Even if such a belief would provide a good-faith basis to reject the tender, the record contains no evidence indicating why the tender was rejected. See Nev. Ass'n Servs., Inc. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 130 Nev. 949, 957, 338 P.3d 1250, 1255 (2014) (recognizing that \\\"[a]rguments of counsel are not evidence and do not establish the facts of the case\\\" (internal quotation and alteration omitted)). Additionally, although respondent contends that (1) the tender was ineffective because it imposed conditions, (2) Bank of America's predecessor needed to keep the tender good, (3) Bank of America's predecessor needed to record evidence of the tender, and (4) respondent is protected as a bona fide purchaser, we recently rejected similar arguments. Bank of America, 134 Nev., Adv. Op. 72, 427 P.3d at 118-121. Accordingly, respondent took title to the property subject to the first deed of trust. We therefore\\nORDER the judgment of the district court REVERSED AND REMAND this matter to the district court for proceedings consistent with this order.\\nAlthough respondent refers to an \\\"alleged\\\" tender, the district court found that the check was sent and received, and respondent does not dispute the veracity of the evidence supporting those findings.\\nWe are not persuaded by respondent's argument that the letter accompanying the check contained conditions purporting to absolve the deed of trust beneficiary of any future liability that it may have to the HOA. The letter refers to \\\"the facts stated herein,\\\" which can only be reasonably construed as contemplating the underlying foreclosure proceeding and not a future scenario in which the deed of trust beneficiary might again need to cure a default to avoid foreclosure.\"}" |
