If seller can't meet the closing date, what is the penalty?
I am in the process of buying a foreclosure home in Florida, contract has been signed, home inspection has been performed and earnest money has been put down, my real estate agent has been trying to contact the seller to speed the process of paperwork for tomorrow's closing August 31, in the event that they don't answer by end of the day tomorrow, what is the next step to follow?
Please advise,
Thansk
