I am a first time home buyer and sellers don't want to sell the house anymore. First they tried to force us to back out by constant calling and showing up at our home uninvited. We were trying to work with them but then they showed up at our house without invitation. I understand that the address is public info but we never shared our address with them so when they showed up we were both scared and shocked. They started to emotionally blackmail us by begging and crying instead of coming up with the reasonable solution so we decided to not have direct contact with them and proceed with the sale. We didn't hear from them for sometime but then on 12/25 their agent sent an email to my listing agent saying the contract is void due to some missing initials. They have not sent any legal notice to me and they denied sharing their attorney's info. Then they took off the listing again without any notice to me or anyone. Everyone I have spoken to said the contract is valid because both sellers signed it. My realtor's company and my title company both told me that the seller is defaulting on the contract. I got a letter sent to the sellers by another attorney but their listing agent respond again saying that they are standing by their void contract claim. The listing agent also mentioned that they reached out to my lender to tell them about the missing initials on the contract. I am shocked that they do that because if they would have asked us, we would have confirmed that with the lender but no idea why they thought that my lender will share anything about my loan with them. Seems like they are doing whatever they want to do without any accountability. The attorney I chose doesn't do specific performance cases so now I am looking for another attorney with experience in that area.
I have read online regarding the default situations but this situation is unique as the sellers haven't provide any legal support to their claim, neither sent anything. Their listing agent removed himself recently from the case so the sellers are now unreachable accept the mailing option because for some reason, their listing agent used his email on the contract and was sending all the correspondence on their behalf. I would really any type of advice.
