While it is feasible to back out of a real estate transaction, there are some drawbacks. If the seller incurs charges such as mortgage holding costs or legal fees, or is unable to promptly market the home, you may lose some or all of your deposit. Furthermore, if your offer was significantly greater than the new buyer’s, the opposing party may decide to take legal action against you.
Real estate agents can help you identify a property that meets your needs and give significant assistance when purchasing or selling a home, but they are not licenced to provide legal advice.
