re: Need legal advice....Company who bought my house is suing me

Couldn't you just kill the deal and put the house back up for sale? In this market you may be able to get a higher price than 5 months ago. That being said, you would probably now have to remedy the flooring problem they are bitching about but for a lot less than $23K.

Those were the buyers Chad, not the sellers.
You are making a lot of definitive claims without having seen the contract, seller disclosures, addendum, or the relevant Florida law.
OP, anyone that gives you substantive advice without having reviewed the above is not worth listening to.

Call their bluff. You don’t work for them nor have any “deadline” to respond by. They’re going to file a lawsuit in a court of law on New Years Eve at 5pm? That’s about as believable as me fricking Ariana Grande tonight

What assumptions have i made? the only assumptions made is some key parts of what OP has stated as factual.

Have they completed the renovations?
If so, and if they sue you, counter-sue them for breach of contract. Ask that the relief be that the deal is unwound, i.e. you give them their money back and you get the (newly renovated) house back.
Then sell the house and profit.
You may not succeed, but they will have significant risk in pursuing their suit.

i've made no assumptions. thanks for looking like an a-hole trying to pretend to put on his smartypants.

Wrong. An inspector can’t or won’t be held liable for things unseen. Ex if there are boxes in the attic they aren’t moving the boxes to inspect what’s under or around the boxes.
Stay in your lane.

You're doing this wrong. You need time. Tell them you'll consider it but you'll need to see the itemized Bill's for materials and labor equaling 23k.
They don't have this and it will take a while to produce it. Use that time to get a consult from an attorney.
You could also read the Florida real estate law. its likely very clear on the matter.

They are going to have to prove that you knowingly knew about the damage. I was sued similar situation 20 plus years ago - the original case was for $65000 we settled for about $3500.

Not an assumption for what wde was referring to. Smarty pants alert everyone

An unreasonable deadline screams scare tactic to me. I would tell them to pound sand.
I am not an attorney but have sued and been sued enough to know when something is bullshite. Even if they have resources to push this through court they don’t seem to have a strong case of what you said is true.

If you've read this far, would love to hear the rants opinion or any legal advice you may have.
You need a lawyer. And they’re going to file suit anyway. So just get a lawyer next week.
Do not take a single bit of “free” unverified legal advice from this board.
Delete this post which they can and will find and use against you and go hire a lawyer.
If I was you I’d replace the Op with porn which ensures the entire thread is deleted and you get banned which is probably for the best

I would fight too which is why I struggle with the advice of offer a settlement. I also have access to a couple of lawyers in the family.
