Question
HI DEAR , HAVE A QUESTION , I HAVE A SINGLE FAMILY HOME CONTRACT ON MY HAND AND EVERY THING HAS BEEN DONE AND IS GOOD TO GO AND NEXT WEEK IS CLOSING DAY BUT SELLER IN NOT WILLING TO FIX REPAIRING STUFF ACCORDING THE INSPENTION DUCUMENTS. IF HE DOES NOT SHOW UP AND FIX THE ISSUE CAN I HAVE THIS HOME BY LAW . THANKS SEAN

Answer
Hi Sean,
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but I think you are asking if you get the home by reason of repairs not being made?  
The answer would be; it depends on what it says in your contract. I assume you had an attorney look over your contracts after the offer was made.  Check with your lawyer. He (or she) would be the best person to advise you on this issue.
Hope this was helpful,
Laurie

My goal is to make the process of buying, selling, or owning a home efficient, enjoyable and rewarding for you. See what my clients have said about my real estate services... *Comments: Laurie was enthusiastic and supportive through the whole process. I would highly recommend her! JAC - Stillwater *Comments: My wife and I recently purchased our home with Laurie Stephenson. This purchase was difficult because we were buying a home from 3000 miles away. Laurie worked with us for several months prior to the purchase. Then, when my wife and I arrived to look at homes, she helped us get right down to business. Laurie's knowledge and expertise pertaining to the Saratoga community allowed my wife and I to find a house that was honestly, the exact home we were looking for. Laurie took our situation, our hopes and dreams, and helped us put them into perspective and find the home that was just right for our family. Laurie's dedication to our family was invaluable throughout the entire process and continues on past the closing of our home. My family and I appreciate everything that Laurie has done for us. We got the luck of the draw with Laurie, and couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent and friend. Sincerely, Randal& Shanna Thorpe *Comments: One of the most refreshing qualities about Laurie is she goes to great lengths before even showing a house to make sure her clients are qualified and she understands exactly what there looking for. Her unique ability to understand people and listen is why she's so successful. She puts her client's best interest first and assures they can buy and afford the house for years to come. As a Mortgage Broker responsible to the banks and the clients we have a perfect record and many happy homeowners. Thank you Laurie!!! Jim Teele
