The Villages Real Estate
We just recently bought a newly constructed home in the T.V.. We were told that once you commit thereis no getting your money back. Like most our feet got a little cold, but the sizeable "non-refundable" deposit kept us from changing our mind. We then proceeded to list our old house with with the villages real estate. Since then three buyers have backed out and all of them have gotten their escrow money back. Buyer #1 backed out based on they couldn't qualify for financing. Even though we offered them owner financing at the same terms the bank was going to give had they qualified. Buyer 2# backed out for no reason, they countered our asking price and we accepted their counter and they just walked away from the deal with their escrow. Buyer3#Loved the house, took videos and pictures,looked at it several times with their kids. We proceeded with the home inspection, what minor things were found were fixed immediately, and because they wanted it just the way it was, turnkey, we accepted their offer and proceeded to buy all new furnishing for our new house. Now 10 days before the closing they are walking away based on the appraisal,which appraised out exactly what we had agreed upon. We even offerd two more options to keep the deal alive and they just walked away. They still have money in escrow and I am not so willing to sign off on giving it back. Has anyone got advice or expereinced something lke this before? P.S. please don't refer to the legal thread I've already been there and no help.
