One should do as much due diligence and research as possible before gettin involved in a transaction.... and if in the middle of transaction things go pear-shaped, one must try diplomacy.

I dont know how an MOU will stack up infront of a judge, ... you just have to be careful when doin a property transaction. There is a risk element anyway in every transaction.

This is why sometimes, I would use a good agent who has an established line of contact with the developer and can speed things up (the paperwork), instead of buyin direct from developer. You got nothing to loose, the developer pays the agent's fees, but you will get your paperwork sorted by the agent pretty quickly and professionally.

The MOU does not have any legal binding before the judge. Ah ha..there is nothing called good agents. I know cases where good agents goofed up. I would not like to post it on the forum, but both of them were A1 and they just walked away from the problems.
