Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Kentucky

was in the process of buying a house through a realtor. My offer was declined with no counter offer, and the house is no longer for sale. I believe they sold it out from under me. Yes they did require $500 down and proof from the bank I could get the money. So is this legal?

Hello and thank you for choosing LawGuru.

If you made an offer and it was declined by the seller then that is legal. If you deposited $500 in escrow with your realtor, as is common, then you should not have lost that $500 and it should still be in escrow with the realtor.

I cannot see anything illegal about what you have described. You may need to provide more information if you don't think I have all the information.

I hope this has helped and I wish you all the best.
