Suing seller who backed out of contract
I had a property under contract and the closing documents were sent to the seller and she seems to be refusing to sign and return. She is ignoring phone calls and clearly avoiding me.
I'm certain that she's changed her mind and seems to think if she ignores me, I'll disappear.
The contract agreement stated that I, the buyer would pay all legal and closing costs.
Thus far I've accrued over $2000 in costs for legal fees, title search and sight survey. The closing attorney told me to sue for costs in the small claims court. Are there any other costs/damages I sue for?
Has anyone else ever had a similar experience?
