I signed a contract not being totaly aware of it. After a big hurriane I had damage to my home with no Insuance. Minutes after the police let home owners back to their homes from the Hurricane people were walking through each other houses assesing damages, So not knowing this "buyer person" and them knowing that I didn’t have any Insurance to pay for the repair. he asked for my fax # and said I ma be able to help me. A few weeks later on a sat this same unexpected person shows up at my door, in only swim shorts and a bottle of beer in one hand. He asked if I received a fax that he sent. I said yes. The fax was a modified copy (Contract) agreement between my neighbors house this person. We talked about my home and the damages from the hurricane. He suggested he would pay to have the home repaired so I could live there. in return for selling him the property to him. I never looked at the papers that were faxed, (I know bad idea) this buyer asked if he could make some changes. I told it is not a good time for me to consider selling. I also told him I would not do any agreements without a lawyer present. He insisted to tell me that I could trust him, and the contract was only binding by the deposit of an escrow check he gave to me. and also said You can show these papers to your lawyer on Monday and if you decide to sell deposit the check. “You can trust me” because I wasn’t sure of this agreement, I asked him repetitively, I’m not sure about this and he assured me about the contract only being binding upon my layers approval and depositing of the escrow check he gave me. I called the so called buyer that monday after talking to a lawyer. I told him there were mistakes on the contract, Dates, and The fact that there were severe damages to the home, that werent metioned (Home has since been repaired in order to live in the home). I also told him wasn’t interested in selling. He told me he was disappointed. he's now sueing me for my house. Is they any help for me? I cant sell my home If I never intented to, Especially for 250,000 less then whats its worth.
