Help!!! What is next step after Attorney sent addendum to landlord?
Guys:
We bought a townhome, signed a contract, also parallally applied for mortgage (they already sent "Good faith estimate and settling costs", they asked me to mail it, but still I didn't sign and didn't mail), after signing a contract, I have chosen my lawyer, then faxed contract papers to attorney, he reviewed it and he sent me a addendum, he told me he is going to send it to builder (I didn't even sign on that addendum, Is it OK), after that I didn't hear anything. Could some expert write me what are the next steps involved?. I wanted to know what are the next steps (Closing end of Sep), in the mean time the sales lady in builder office calling me to select the carpet and kitchen cabinets), Could you guys suggest me what I have to do?. Should I want to hear back from my attorney?. Appreciated for your suggestions and thanks in advance. Also the lender is calling me asking me whether I miled that copy back to them?. I am in dilemma, what to do ?. |

Laws and 'standard practices' vary widely from area to area, and anything you hear on here will be a guess at best. Call your lawyer, make an appointment, and review all the paperwork to date. You may not even need to meet with the actual lawyer, just the office person who actually put the paperwork together. The bit about signing a contract and then adding an addendum sounds flakey to me, but IANAL. aem sends.... |

Guys: I am getting sick of your posts. Everything is "Help!!!" You'd think you are the only person in the whole country buying a house. We bought a townhome, Not yet you didn't. Not by a long way. signed a contract, also parallally applied for mortgage (they already sent "Good faith estimate and settling costs", they asked me to mail it, but still I didn't sign and didn't mail), Seems a little odd that you went ahead and signed a CONTRACT without counsel, and NOW you are shy about signing that you rec'd the good faith estimate, for the mortgage that YOU applied for. You're weird. after signing a contract, I have chosen my lawyer, then faxed contract papers to attorney, he reviewed it and he sent me a addendum, he told me he is going to send it to builder (I didn't even sign on that addendum, Is it OK), after that I didn't hear anything.

I was wondering the same thing ... why he signed a contract before having it reviewed by the attorney???? Normally that's what the lawyer is used for. Still, it is very common, people sign first, then only ask about an attorney after they are having a problem of some kind. What struck me here, was that *now* OP was being shy about signing things that were much less critical than the thing he had already signed. And that he now has a lawyer, but is still asking here. -v. |

Thanks for your responses, appreciated. The builder's policy is buyer
has to sign first, then let the attorney review it, incase if the buyer didn't like any of the clauses, then he can backout with full amount. I though this group might help me suggesting what are the things involve till closing, I wanted to know what are the steps involved. I apologise for the group, if I made anything wrong here. Once again, thanks, appreciated. |

I suspect you misunderstood what the document really is, or the builder is guilty of unethical and possibly illegal strong-arm tactics. If it is actually a contract, and not an application to apply for credit from their in-house mortgage company or something, once you sign it, that is it. They may have a 'policy' to let customers back out, but there would be no way to enforce that unless it was spelled out in the document. IOW, all the power is on their side. In some states, that would be enough to invalidate the 'meeting of minds' requirement for a valid contract. If I was faced with a vendor pressuring me to sign paper like that before they would even negotiate with me, I'd walk immediately, and tell everyone I know about it. There are always other places to buy a house- no buyer should put up with crap like that. Telling somebody they have to sign NOW before their lawyer looks at it should be an automatic dealbreaker. Standard disclaimer- IANAL, but I do play a Contracting Officer at work, and had enough Contract Law courses to convince THEM I was qualified. aem sends.... |
