@Priscilla Z.You did the right moves by having your Affidavit and Notice of Interest in Real Property recording on the deed and if there was a problem, the buyer's realtor would have told you, but you will have uneducated people say what you did was not up above board or broker a deal which is not true you had a security interested in the property, and you have a right to your fee to release your interest.

First place to start is to get your spouse on board.
