Problems buying our first home

Brandon Baird
Posted

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this. Just found out about the podcast and have listened to a ton of them! We are in the middle of buying our first home. We've ran into some problems. We love the house but have ran into internet issues and my girlfriend works from home. 30 mins from Nashville in 2020 and never thought it would be an issue! She has to have hard wired but only satellite is available. We didn't have internet as a contingent. We paid the earnest money and asked to back out but have been threatened to be sued. It's a brand new build and we asked for 3 things. A huge brush pile to be taken out, 2 recessed cans to be aligned in the kitchen, and an outlet to be added to the island. We aren't trying to recoup the earnest money, it was "off the market" for 28 days, even though it was still listed as owner accepting offers until the morning of the threat of legal action. The listing agent didn't disclose that the builder was her husband. Do we have any options on getting out and not being sued?
