getting back appraisal charge

Mark Myslinski

Hello everyone!I got a question

3 months ago i got in to the contract with the Florida apartment builder and was gonna buy one of his brand new apartments.Everything was going so slow, i believe 3 months or so?

i spent a lot of time on the phone,sending hundreds of documents getting the loan.i got approved very quickly but it was still taking time!I had 5 closing dates if not more and when the final date got close( April 14th) the mortgage company called me and let mi know that this property can not be finances by conventional loan(cash only or some different kind of loan with high  interest rate) so i drop the deal.they send me my deposit today.but i also 

 noticed that i heave been charged appraisal charge of $440.I understand that the appraisal  company done its job and get paid for it, but why i have to pay for somebody's mistake!

Do You have any idea if there is a chance to get that money back?(i had to gave them my credit card with application)who should i call?My RE agent told me there is no way to get that done(it happend  to her in the past)

Should that be the person who lie about buying the place with conventional loan?That's what it is in all their documents(conventional loan accepted)

Thank You all in advance
