Your question does not provide enough information to give you a proper answer. If you are saying that you paid a deposit and now the landlord is not returning your calls, I would try to stop payment on the check. If that's not an option, I would write a letter requesting your deposit back... View More

5 hours later and no answer! Isn't there even 1 lawyer that knows the answer to my question?
answered on Aug 22, 2017
Absolutely no obligation. Multiple offers is a very common situation and they may have already had other full asking price offers. Or there may already be an offer over asking and your offer, or broker is giving everyone a best and final offer chance. And an ad is not a binding contract either.... View More

Yes, most brokers are licensed through either the Dept. of State (Real Estate Brokers for instance) or a private organization (FINRA for stock brokers for instance). You can go to their website to check the status of your broker.
misinformation and fraudulent claims. Do I have any claims or recourse at this time? Thank you.
answered on Aug 7, 2017
You may have recourse, but fraud claims are extremely fact intensive, so an attorney would need to review all of the specific information to give you a comprehensive evaluation of the merits of your claim(s). That said, I would recommend organizing all information relevant to this situation,... View More
I have a small restaurant that I am selling, I have it listed with a broker. We had a potential buyer who made a $1,000 deposit. The buyer did not obtain financing, so they forfeited the deposit.

answered on Jul 22, 2017
You'd have to have an attorney review the finance agreement for cancellation requirements. If there is no written agreement, then you can probably go straight to Small Claims court for breach of sales agreement. This is not a "return" situation since you are not in possession of... View More
