It was within a day or so of that point of conflicting signals from her that I suddenly was giving the shove off from the owner's realtor and the note holder.It did become clear that the note holder had been colluding with the home owner behind his own attorney's back, and in response, after she returned my $2500, she dropped the note holder as a client.Does that sound like I had any kind of a binding transaction in progress with the note holder, and he wrongfully backed out of it?
