Cancellation of contract not signed seller is relisting ...
Seller has sent me signed cancellation of contract / cancelation of escrow. I haven’t signed it. Can he re- list the property and sell it?
I’m dealing with a seller and seller’s agent who did everything they could by playing tricks on me and acting in bad faith to force me to miss my contingency deadlines so they can get out of the contract and not sell the property to me. Unfortunately, they succeeded and they send me a signed cancellation of contract/cancellation of escrow which I haven’t signed. I was under the impression that until I sign this document the seller won’t be able to sell or list the property again. Am I correct or totally wrong? Now the seller is listing the property for 100k higher than what he wanted to sell to me. If I haven’t signed the cancellation document and my deposit money is still in escrow do I have any legal precedent to go after him?
California real estate contract.
Thank you in advance
