Fraud,
*SOLVED

3

Beware: the above mentioned are all the same place. I was looking for a house in Modesto, California. And saw this house that I like. It required me to put my offer online, so I wanted to gohome.com. I found out that it is a bidding process. When I entered a price, it automatically increased for another $1000. After several try, I was outbidded. However, next day I got an email stating that the house was back on market and I could make an offer on the same site (I'm a little anxious). So I made an offer for lower than the asking price on MLS. It came back said there was another offer higher than me (same as asking). So I gave it another try and added $100 more. My offer was accepted. I suspected the bidding process was a fraud. But I was happy to get the house. I was given a offer contract (not the standard CAR form) and signed without thinking too much. I sent in my deposit and signed all the forms. One week before closing, title company informed me that there was a problem with title, so they would working on it. I contacted Premium Title but didn't get a clear picture as what was wrong. When the closing day arrived, there was still no resolution to the problem. Seller extended the contract but still could not resolve the issue at the end. During this period, the property got vandalized. All the appliances, fixtures were either removed or damaged. After I contacted the Seller, Seller's response was this is "AS IS" sale, and anything inside were "Personal Properties". And even asking me to report this to police!!! I put in 'Cancellation of Contract' and demand my deposit back. Seller refused to sign and sent me a 'Cancellation of Contract' stating buyer refuse to close and wants to retain all my deposit. Lesson learnt from this is that I signed the contract without paying too much detail. The Purchase and Sales contract (not the standard CAR) from the Seller is ONE sided. Anything Seller cannot perform, it is not Seller's fault. I will go on and fight for my deposit!!! This type of business is consumer's nightmare!!!
