Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Can I get my money Back?

The house next to me was for sale, this friend of mine said she would swing the deal with the owner for me to set up payments etc, when she said it was done, she told me everything was in her name because it was to costly to put it in both our names. I had given her $1500 toward the down payment, which I have a receipt for. Then I paid her another $500 for five months rent. I ask to see the legal paper work between her and the seller a few times, never saw it. Well, we had a falling out, I told her I didn't want the house and that we should sell it, so she wasn't stuck with it. She said ''No'' she would keep it. I only verbally told her that I wanted it, nothing in writing. My Question is, Can I take her to small claims court to get my money back???
