Seller wants a piece of the earnest money......
Guys
I wanted your opinion on the situation I am facing currently. I was in contract on a duplex property on 7/9/2014. I had an inspection done on 7/18. In that inspection it came out that the duplex had common utilities. I went back and forth with the seller about the utility bills and the seller couldn't help me out with it. I decided on 7/26 that's it's gonna be too much of an hassle and signed and sent the earnest money release form. Now the seller wants the earnest money and refuses to sign it back. What are my options and how does an person get out of it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Why are some people so difficult...
