Does not know whether his buyer has informed the contract termination to seller agent.

Agent is not of much help. Agent is threattning that buyer must attend settlement - Attorney says settlement table is just for agreement (All problems should be fixed outside of settlement table).

My friend has decided not to go to settlement at all. What would happen - will he lose deposit? Help him...]]></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Sun, 15 Nov 2009 15:54:21 PST]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is it possible to terminate attorney you hired to buy house?

I make $20,800 yearly and so does my girlfriend. Would it be possible for a lender to look at my annual gift as a source of income? This would bring our income from $41,600 to $53,600. It would help us a lot if we were able to use it as "income" in a sense. Also would I then be taxed on the gift? Please, if anyone has any information, please respond!

The home inspection came back with a few items which were addressed. After the settlement closing while cleaning up the bathroom, I lifted the bathtub mat (which had been left) to clean the tub. When I lifted it, along with it came a large piece of sealant which had been covering a 6 inch crack in the plastic floor of the tub. The crack appears to have been patched several times to no avail. After removing the old carpet in the adjoining bedroom, water staining was evident coming from the bathroom. Do I have any recourse as this tub damage seems to have been intentionally hidden by the rubber shower mat the entire time. I feel this is something that should have been disclosed by the sellers and that they were downright deceitful. Neither myself nor my realtor nor my home inspector thought to check under the mat. The tub obviously needs replaced now and possible water damage may be revealed under it. What recourse do I have at this point?]]></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Sat, 26 Sep 2009 10:58:49 PDT]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I make an offer on a bank owned property and put money into an account for the offer and the bank doesnt]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.trulia.com/voices/Home_Buying/If_I_make_an_offer_on_a_bank_owned_property_and_pu-160072]]></link><description><![CDATA[take the offer what becomes of my money.
