Ive done dozens of Auction.com deals but this was a first.
After being under contract for 50+ days with no contingencies I received and email that the seller for the property I was ready to close on has now backed. Auction.com said they didn't give a reason. EM deposits were in everything was set to close. Do I have any recourse to make them close?
I spent a lot of time prepping this deal and passed on other deals while this was under contract so it was a bummer.

But for others, to your original question....no, you have no recourse....the bank addendums in every REO sale give them the right to cancel the contract for no reason whatsoever, simply returning your EM. Usually, this is because they found some title issue...last one I saw they failed to name the junior lien in the foreclosure, discovered it 3 days before they were scheduled to close on the sale of the reo.
