So...this is my first post on Reddit and one I write with sadness and looking for advice.... Like many we have sized out of our home and had embarked this summer on finding a home with more space and a better school district. We found a beautiful home that both my husband I loved (this is hard to come by!). Things start to get sad here: The sellers were relocating to a different town and our contract was with the relocation company who we signed with and exited attorney review on 7/30. We had an inspection a few days later which was riddled with issues but we negotiated 28,500 at closing to fix all the issues. This agreement was agreed to in an email with their attorney on 8/15. Our attorney sent a rider following that which they never signed (and honestly we overlooked). We were waiting for receipts on some termite treatment that they sent through on 9/2. Unfortunately before we could send our signatures back, the relocation agency sent us a letter on 9/4 saying the sellers are “no longer moving forward with their relocation and thus the they (relo company) can not provide us with title” ergo the sale is null and void. It was in our contract that the relocation company has to receive documents for title transfer in order to go through with the sale. During all this we entered into attorney review on our home and removed the inspection contingency as well. We also enrolled our son in the new school district by providing the sale contract. Which they will honor for 2 months and then we have to be out of the school. We have retained services of a lawyer who thinks we have a decent case but he is not overly positive. I would love to hear thoughts on what we can pursue - damages/compel a sale? Located in NJ!
