Good morning,I dont have all the details but as per my understanding the following occurred:1, buyer and seller signed the purchase contract.2, buyer made deposit as per the contract into escrow at sellers title company.3,Im not sure if contract autorizes title company to release deposits to seller.4, Builder seller encountered several delays on delivery of the house.As the licensed transactional broker i have been trying to communicate and update buyer on all and any information i get in real time.What other buyers have requested is a local legal council to assist them.
