Facts: We made an offer on a property, which was accepted. So, following the RE/MAX Buyers Guide, the next step was to pay for the inspection. There is no mention in that Guide or somewhere else about the possibility to lose the property at this point, and, as consequences, to lose the money on the inspection. My husband & I are new in New York and first buyers. We lost the property because someone made a better offer after we paid for the inspection. I'm wondering how much money we will lose that way? There is no law to protect consumers in New York State?
