Selling your home can be a long and complex process, especially if you are not prepared for an undertaking of this magnitude.

Buyer does not show up at the deed signing: what to do and how to protect yourself

You signed the preliminary contract, waited for the agreed deadlines, and on the day of the deed signing the buyer does not show up at the notary.
