Our real estate agent calculated that we would net almost 60,000 from the sale of our house...this number in turn made us accept an offer on our house and reflected how much we were going to put down on the new house. Well after we signed the loan for the new house we realized she made a huge mistake and our net was only going to be 52,000...I contacted her broker and basically he said there was nothing they could do and we as sellers should have known what our net was going to be. My question is, is there any legal action we can take against the real estate agent/broker to make them pay for their mistake or are we just screwed? We basically have a signed contract to sell our house and a signed contract to buy a new house, so we have to sell/buy correct?
