Sellers and realtor scam buyers. 💸💰💸

Contract signed early September set to close first of November. Buyers move belongings and furniture to property from sept to November. Title work is finished 1 week after original closing date title issues come up. Realtor NEVER sends buyer contract extension even though buyers ask multiple times only to be told not to worry about it. Buyers ask realtor for price reduction and sellers decide they no longer want to sell to buyers. Agent and sellers avoid all phone calls and tell buyers to remove all belongings from the property. Agent starts marketing the property using buyers survey and inspection report. Agents tells buyer tough sh*t he is hunting all weekend and it’s over nothing he can do. Buyers agree to buy property at original amount even with old oil lease issues. Sellers tell agent to tell buyers they won’t ever sell to them at any price. Buyers have over $10K in due diligence plus moving costs. Buyers haven’t moved anything yet.

There were MANY other mistakes made by the shady realtor. Advised buyers against getting a survey of the property, home inspection and hiring private attorney to look over the old oil lease agreement. I’m leaving all the agent shadiness out due to the length of this post.

Agent was acting as agent for buyer and seller and is real estate broker as well.

What do we do?

What options do we have?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
