A true professional always closes, go cry a while and shake it off. You know the drill, no close,no pay. No deal takes 8 months unless you are incompetent, or they placed no value in your opinion or work. Tough break kid, better luck next time.

No one "forced" you to do anything. Did he have a gun to your head? Did he hold your dog off a 20 story balcony? Your life is controlled by YOU. That you allowed yourself to be bullied by a salesperson doesn't mean you lose responsibility. You could have walked away at any time up until all contingencies were met on your offer. Instead, you chose to continue allowing yourself to be bullied and walked on. It's also been 3 years. You didn't have a problem with the way you were treated until both you and hubby became unemployed. Now, you need to blame someone so you've set your sights on the broker. You have the right to hire an attorney to see if you do have any case. From where I am sitting, there isn't one, but I know that there are lots of i's that must be dotted and perhaps he missed on. Or perhaps he violated some rule about too much paperwork.

Do you have a contract that states they would pay you should they not close or sign your documents, that you will need to produce in order to file the lien? You cannot simply walk into the recorder's office and say you want to place a lien on a property. You will need to show legitimate contracts that state you are owed monies. Good luck.

You can only put a lien on their property if they sign the closing documents and if they do you don't have a problem. If they have any other property then you need a signed statement from them promising to close on this property and then you have a legal right to do so. Good luck.

It depends on what they signed...Good Faith Estimate...nothing you can do about it. They have the upper hand, unfortunately. You have no legal right to any expenses you've lost unless you file a claim in court...forget it, you'll lose...too complicated, too many court costs. I know how much work you've obviously put in to the closing...it's not worth the effort to fight your well deserved cause. So sorry...let it go, go forth and learn the lesson...nothing is a guarantee...again, so sorry.
