My question involves real estate located in the State of: California
I sold my home in a short sale and at the end of the process, the second wanted 5500 to approve the sale. I borrowed the money, after the buyer signed a contract the pay this money outside escrow. At the close of escrow, they informed me this payment is illegal since I sold the home as a short sale and said they will not pay it. Is this true and or should I sue them?
My realtor arranged this deal and the legality question is new to me.
