[quote=equalizer][quote=urbanrealtor]California law typically lets a buyer back out but not a seller.
That being said, I don’t think most buyers will take you into court and force the sale.
It would be easier to try to shut it down and offer money to make it right with all parties.
But seriously, you have no real rights on this issue.[/quote]
Happended to us twice as buyers.
One time, the sellers changed mind but told our realtor crazy stuff about daughter and depression and asked if we were going to sue. He offered no consolation, but we just ran far away. Had it been a great place, maybe would have thought about it, but bad vibes can’t be shaken.
Another time, I panicked as buyer and paid $500 as consolation and that kept my name off the “do not accept this guys offer” list on MLS.[/quote]
Yeah.
That list does not really exist.
Either the deposit is in jeopardy or it isn’t.
If it is:
-The listing agent will try to keep it
-The buyer agent will look for some out to get it back
If it is not in jeopardy:
-You should get the whole thing back.
