I Need Legal Advice On Selling My House And If I Should Sign Release Papers For Earnest Money?
I am selling my house through a realtor and had an offer, accepted. She asked for 3 repairs to be made I agreed to repair one. Her inspector said there was a sewage leak that would cost $300 to fix. (I am providing a home warranty that she would only have to pay $60 to get it fix.) I have never noticed or smelled a leak in the basement so my realtor hired another plumber to inspect. He said that there was no leak and $300 would not touch the cast iron pipes i have since it is an older home so he was not sure what the other plumber saw. My realtor and the buyer’s realtor scheduled a meeting with the buyer and another plumber to inspect again and the buyer did not show up. Now she is backing out because of unreconsilable differences and my realtor says i need to release the earnest money. Is this right? My realtor also tried to call the plumber who originally did the inspection and he is conveniently no longer doing inspections two weeks after the initial inspection. What should I do?
