Today my Husband and I went to closing, the first problem was the tilte comp/lawyer attempted to use the money provided by the seller to pay for cost that my bank already paid for as wel as not place the contribution on the HUD needless to say after I advised them I am a closing agent the hud was changes and reflected a 600 diff. in the contract we asked for a septic clearance letter and termite clearance letter. We got the termite but instead of the seller providing a clearance letter they got the septic tank pumped we walked away because we refuse to closed without the septic clearance letter. My realestate agent advised us they have the receipt from the comp that pumped the tank we did not feel comfortable and advised them to provide the clearance from the county or give us our earnest money back. Is this a breach of contract and what can we do because our realtor seems to be working for the seller and not us as she suppose to be a buying agent
With the details provided I would say if the seller didn’t provide the ‘letter’, they are in breach. Also your agent is walking a thin line on the Fiduciary owed you.
I would write a letter to the agent (cc the broker) calmly pointing out the facts and that you intend to seek all actions and remedies afforded you by contract and law.
