Question
please help. time is of the essence. everyone knew and knows we are in a hurry to move. we found buyers and they signed the contract , but gave a check that bounced; in sufficent funds. now the woman is pulling a trick; she said her husband was abusive and took out an order of protection; full, although she still lives with him. a violation. i am desperate. we lost the home of our dreams; i have to register my children in a school for september. our home has been off the market for over a month. do we have an recourse?
Hello Marylee,
Thank you for your question.
Tell your lawyer to request the contract be returned. It sounds like a problem.
Have your real estate broker start showing the house again. Reduce the price to what you accepted from these people.
You still have time to find a buyer.
Hope it works out.
Hans

There are many questions buyers and sellers have about the process of buying or selling a home that they are afraid to ask or that might seem too simple to ask. For instance: in a house, why do some doors open in and some doors open out?
