If the buyers feel like they should get more money, they can do one of three things:1) re-negotiate with you to amend your original contract2) walk away from the closing table and refuse to sign (basically bringing the deal to a halt)3) suck it up and sign.I can't imagine a closing attorney would hold money back for any reason, unless he had it in writing and signatures from both parties that money was to be held back... that seems beyond me. 

Should he just walk away from it and let it go into short sale/foreclosure?
