If you are seeking legal advice, we suggest speaking with a qualified real estate attorney. Legal questions come up all the time, most commonly real estate contract law questions. The National Association of REALTORS® and your state association of REALTORS® have a legal hotline you can call to speak with an attorney for legal advice and explain your situation. Each state has different laws and regulations which calls out for different areas of specialty. For a list of phone numbers and people to call, log into your real estate back office portal.
