As a Massachusetts Real Estate Agent working primarily on Cape Cod, I have seen many cases in which clients or out of state agents are confused about the process of purchasing a house. You laid it out in a simple, yet effective way.

I’ll be back to learn more about the Home selling and buying process from an Attorney’s point of view.

A friend of mine was going to buy a house. Nobody held her money. She was supposed to bring it the day of the closing.
It turned out that the terms of the loan were not what had been discussed at the bank. She declined the loan and was subsequently threatened with a specific performance suit.
She was told she had a standard contract. When she investigated on her own she found that standard contracts for each state either had a contingency for disagreeing with the terms of the loan or a place for the agent to write that in.
When she mentioned this to the lawyer, realtors, and bank there was an additional attempt to coerce her to sign when she recieved paperwork indicating a suit had been filed when no suit had been filed.
The house was sold to a different buyer under semi-secret terms seven days later for approximately five thousand dollars less.
My friend had asked for an extension to find alternate financing and it was not granted.
After the house was sold she got a letter or two indicating the seller was suing her for the difference in the prices.
The letters were stamped in red “filed” and indicated they had gone to a court, but when the courts were checked no suits had been filed.
What do you make of this?

I don’t get it, what tax ramifications – paying your taxes like everyone else? Or was it the seller trying to get some money at the end?
