Greg,
It all depends on what your contract says and what you agreed to. Did you put any protection clauses in the offer? Like subject to your ability to obtain financing or subject to a home inspection or anything like that that would let you out of the contract. If you didn’t you may not have a case.

Deposit returned? - Posted by G. Schultz

I have a seller that is taking the position that he is not
required to return my earnest money deposit.

It is 400.00 so I can’t get a lawyer.

Is there a way that I can legally cloud the title to the house that he is currently living in and has just listed with a broker?

Or another way to at some point… force him to pay what he owes as per our signed Buy and Sell Agreement.

Thanks in advance
Greg
