I signed a contract with my realtor Cynthia B****** from Howard Hannah on 8/8/22. Was contacted by a law office by a lawyer named Maureen. Believe she was my lawyer. After the contract is set (three day review passed) my broker calls me and says I need flood insurance. Realtor says to call my lawyer. Says I have Tomko. He is on my contract but I have never even heard of him. He said I couldn't get my earnest money back because I was braking what was written. Realtor is blaming lawyer, lawyer is blaming realtor. I lost $1,500 of my earnest money breaking the contract. Realtors told me not to sign the release, but was told I could be sued if I did not. September 12th I signed off to be released from the contract. Realtors office acts like I made a mistake by doing that but I was open to a personal law suit. I feel like the realtor and lawyer worked together and thought the sale was set.Business response
