Not trying to school YOU in the legal ramifications as you are certainly more expert than I in these matters but there are more escape clauses in the standard Real Estate purchase forms than you'd see on a remake of the Titanic
Thanks! I knew I was missing something. That makes perfect sense. While contract law has its concepts it's the actual contract that dictates.

So what you're saying is 314joey had great advice...don't count your money in a real estate sale until the check is in your hands.
