Florida Real Estate Contract Question by a Buyer.
Hi,
I signed a contract as a buyer of a house in FL. Now, due to some family and financial reasons I can not go ahead and buy the house.
I contacted the seller and after explaining the whole situation to him, he is ok with it.
The only thing that I am concerened about is the Realtor. I just want to know what can be the possible damages to me from the Realtor's side?
Thanks a lot for any information that you can provide.

Re: Florida Real Estate Contract Question by a Buyer.
Your contract is what would control your liability. The average sales contract provides that the buyer�s down payment is retained and used to pay the Broker and therefore the damages are limited to whatever you put down.
