No attorney can answer this question without looking at the contract itself, and getting all the facts. You should see a real estate attorney about this as soon as possible, and one place to find a lawyer in your area is our website, http://attorneypages.com
Please do this, before you say or do anything. There might be an out, or not, and even if there is an out you can use, it has to be done the right way. In some situations, you might also have to worry about a suit from the real estate broker for the commission on the broken deal.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
