Unhappy

seller backed out in california


What is the name of your state? california.

i signed a contract to sell my house with the contingency that i would obtain funding. 2 hours after i signed the contract i changed my mind. i still have not gotten funding. the buyer has been notified, and she is insisting i sell. i'm hoping the financing doesn't come through, but if it does can i get out of the contract?

**A: what do you mean you would obtain funding? Are you a bank or private mortgage loan company in the business of making mortgage loans?
Sellers rarely obtain financing for Buyer's.

**A: it all depends on the exact terms and conditions in your contract.

**A: Ok, then next time make it clearer so we do not have to guess.
The answer is yes, if you obtain funding, you must still sell.
