Q: Seller agreed to offer and signed all documents. Upon waiting for closing, seller decides not to sell.
The seller agreed to all terms, contingency money is paid, 2 weeks before closing they decided they no longer needed to sell their home(long story).
What do i do now?
A:
Without seeing the terms of the offer it is hard to say what you can or should do. Possible remedies range from getting your deposit back and declaring the deal ‘dead’ to forcing the sale, or something in between.
You need to consult with a local attorney in the area where the house is located and share both the long story and the documents to get some real advice.
