Inquiry (help)
I'm needing some legal advise on a residential real estate transaction. I've been trying to purchase a house for over six months. We did not put our offer in writing, although twice we have had an accepted offer verbally. We received a fax tonight from the sellers indicating that they are not able to sell the property at the agreed price. With the rejection letter, does that give me any legal standing to do anything about this? Thank you in advance for your feedback.
Grandma,
No, In Cal. verbal means squat. must be in writing. Could you take them to court, sure, would you spend a lot of money--a lawyer starts at about $250 per hr.
Move on or get it in writing
