we got a 100K EMD back without much issue. No lawyers or anything. It was with a builder, not an individual. |
Yes, OP is trying to prevent what you did. I agree that EMDs are scams. The point is that you're supposed to lose it if you walk away for a reason other than an agreed upon contingency. |
My realtor told me in his 20 years of working he'd never lost an EMD yet for a buyer. |
