Thanks all for your input in this matter. I have been trying to get a flood insurance to go through with this transaction but almost all the insurance company I called kept quoting a higher premium. Also I did a walk through on the property last Mon. and the home inspector alerted us that the heat in the new addition is not adequate for the room. In order words it will have to be checked and replaced by a heating contractor. The seller agreed on replacing the water heater but installed a used one. I told my attorney about this and he said as long as it was not leaking that it's fine because they did not have to install a brand new one. I also received a call from my attorney today saying that the seller's attorney faxed him a letter stating that if the closing is not scheduled by Wed they'll cancel the contract and keep my deposit. My attorney said if that happenned then I'll have to hire another attorney to represent me in getting back my money. I am so frustrated at this point . I don't have any insurance in place and frankly I don't want this property any longer period. If I have to enter into litigation to get back my money that's fine. I refused to be bullied into accepting this property as is right now. The realtor I used need to be exposed so that other first time buyers like me will not go through what I went through. Please if anyone know of a really good attorney who will help me resolve this issue please let me know. I appreciate all your input once again thanks. - Mon May 12 2008, 15:09
Hi Catherine, Thanks for answering my question. On quetion # 3 the seller just put a question mark on the no column. Is this allowed? Also my realtor did not go over this disclosure with me . She just emailed it to me and never discussed anything pertaining to this purchase with me. I had to keep asking her quetions and she always said she does not know or will give the wrong information. I had to keep asking my friend who also bought in Stratford for info. She acted more like she is rpresenting the seller rather than me. Since the process of purchasing this ome i have uncovered so many cans of worms. But she kept telling me that if i decide not to go through with the purchase of the home i won't get my money back. I kept going for the fear of losing 5,000. For instance when i could not complete the inspection on the specified date because i was 9 months pregnant and could not make up to CT she told me to sign an addendenum to the contract so that the date can be changed to another day. When the inpection was unsatisfactory i demanded my money then my attorney told me that the realtor never got the seller to sign the addendenum. i was furious. my mid is not with this home anymore and i just want my money back. i beleive the realtor did not represent us well beign that we were out of state buyers. I beleive she did all this because she recommended her boyfriend for obtaiing a mortgage and i had no problem with it. But when he came and try o convince me that the closing costs on the loan will be 12,000. I refused and went to another bank. Ever since the she became evasive and no forth coming about what to do and wht not to do. Right now i am going to file a complaint against her with the real estate board. And i Will definetly sue her and her company if i don't get money back. i will be taling with my attorney tommorrow. do you think i am entitld to get my money back. thanks again. - Sun May 4 2008, 12:15
