Re: Real Estate

Look at the agreement. It should say what the buyer's remedies are. A well drafted agreement (from the seller's perspective) would say they are only entitled to the return of their deposit. If it doesn't specify, they could sue you to make you sell the property to them or to recover thier deposit and other damages they could prove - cost of title insurance etc.
