Do you realize that this FAMILY is paying for the inspection out of pocket sometimes as much as 500$. It is very irresponsible of you to toy with so many peoples lives because you had a change of heart. In this market your house had to be listed for awhile and you just now made up your mind. You will be taking money from all involved by changing your mind. Your Realtor paid OUT OF POCKET for advertising your house they devoted time and money in marketing your house, handling the offer. paperwork etc...The other agent drove her clients around on her dime and this family has paid out of pocket too. The only person not hurt by backing out is you. I know you wanted advice on how to get out of your contract and I understand it is your house but I just wish you would of thought of this in advance.....<br><b>References : </b><br> What a nightmare for your agent, the buyers and the buying agent.

There are contingencies on your contract for things like attorney review, inspection, mortgage contingency. You should have like 5 days for you attorney to review the contract and give the go ahead on whether to go forward or not. That might be an out because if you have 5 days for the attorney to review the contract and they do not respond within that time period then the contract is voidable. Also if the inspection comes back unfavorable and they ask for a credit for the repairs then that is another opportunity to just turn it down flat and walk away. In short contingencies are the only way that you can get out of your contract. Hope I helped.<br><b>References : </b><br> With you only accepting the contract 3 days ago I am assuming that there are still contingencies on the contract.

You may want to put some feelers out through your agent ASAP before they get too invested and put too much time and money into the process. You could possibly have an out if some major repairs come up in the inspection and you refuse to pay for them.<br><b>References : </b><br> In theory the buyers could sue you for specific performance and make you sell to them.
