I had a contract to purchase a property, during the contract there was an update an appraiser need to make to get appraisal cleared to close the loan. The appraiser / Appraisal company had covid and did not answer the email until 10 days after the contracted close date. Continuing to ask for an extension the seller would verbally say they would extend, but refused to sign an extension. All during Christmas/ New Years window Notified by appraisers wife at end of Dec month, notifying parties should could not get the update of the appraisal until they were over covid - the seller cancels the contract - I can't close with out the update of the appraisal. I loose out on my earnest money and appraisal as well as I am not afford the extension on paper to perform the contract. I want to lien to at least get my earnest money, appraisal fee damages and cost to file liens and any attorney fees. We received the update on 1/7, file is cleared to close and docs pulled, seller withdraws contract and cancels listing agreement
