I would imagine that a contract is not valid unless both parties sign it. My friend put his house on
the market and finally got an offer that he felt he should accept. After thinking about it, he never
came down to sign the contract and he never sold his house. That was almost one year ago.

Where did you go wrong? You packed up without getting a closing date. Many deals die at the final
moments, even at the closing.

I recently found a house to buy. We agreed on a purchase price, put
down our money, and signed the contracts...all we had left to do was a
set a closing date. The seller took a while to set the date but since
all papers were filled out etc. we packed up our house. Today we were
finally going to recieve the closing date but when we got the phone
call, the realtor told our realtor that they had recieved a higher
offer and because the realtor did not sign one of the papers, our
contract is null and tanother family is now buying the house....is this
legal? Where did I go wrong. Please help!
