FAQ
The funds are split between the brokerage firm and the buyer. The escrow agent disburses it as outlined in instructions from both parties or holds it until any disputes are resolved.
The contract is within a five-day attorney review period. During the review period, which is in place to protect the people on both sides of a transaction, sellers can legally back out. The seller has a contingency in the contract. Like buyers, sellers can build in contingencies, too.
Keeping the Escrow Funds: A third-party will oversee the escrow account until the closing date. This is done in ance with Florida Statutes § 651.033, which state that a certified financial institution must hold the escrow funds for the duration of the transaction. There's a clear logic behind this law.
Essential elements of a valid escrow arrangement are: A contract between the grantor and the grantee agreeing to the conditions of a deposit; Delivery of the deposited item to a depositary; and. Communication of the agreed conditions to the depositary.
Bottom line. “Generally, a seller can't cancel without cause,” Schorr says. “You could build in some contingency, but absent that, you had better be committed to the sale.” Reneging because you fear you underpriced the house, or you receive a better offer, or you just changed your mind, doesn't count as “cause.”
If you back out without cause, the buyer can bring legal action for breach of contract. That means you could be facing a lawsuit where the buyer seeks compensation. Depending on the buyer, the lawsuit may seek financial compensation or even specific performance, forcing you to sell your home.
Florida law allows the wronged parties to pursue the sellers due to a breach of duty in disclosing information they knew that may have altered the transaction.
If you request repairs that the seller feels are unnecessary (or too expensive), the seller can cancel the deal. The buyer violates his or her side of the contract. For example, if you're supposed to get a mortgage within a certain time period but you can't do so, the seller can exit the deal legally.
If the seller breaches a contract and basically refuses to close on a property in the state of Florida, the buyer has potentially the remedy of specific performance. Of course, this must be drafted into the contract before the parties execute a contract.
