This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Don't some states let you reverse a RE transaction? by mintirish

I think some states allow you to reverse a real estate transaction for a short time period.

I would call my attorney and let the seller's attorney know your in-laws are backing out unless they get a check for $1500.

Have your in-laws ask both their realtor and attorney what they can do. Maybe their realtor can get the seller's realtor to cough up a little cash.

Otherwise I think they are SOL from a money standpoint. Obviously file a police report and get a restraining order.
