I don't think that the title company or the seller's real estate agent will accept that clause in the sales contract because it is open-ended. The title company cannot provide a clear title until all provisions in the sales contract have been satisfied. Once the closing is completed, the buyer owns the property, and the only way to recover anything from the seller after the closing is to sue them for fraud.
