Selling my house...
Buyer made offer, I accepted...
They had the inspection and came back a day later and said there is $20k worth of work needed and that the. were backing out.
Seemed suspicious to me since is nothing serious going on with the house... They ignored our request to see the report and are ignoring requests for even a verbal on what the issue was.
Suspect they just changed their mind and made this all up to get the earnest money back and move on.
But for me, this is a big deal as I already had a contingent offer on a house and these buyers pulling out put that in jeopardy.
In my mind, if they are lying about the outcome of the inspection, I am entitled to the earnest money.
We had an inspection done today, and there were no major problems noted... Certainly no $20k in repairs needed...
Do I have any recourse against these fools?
