Perfect example last night of why you need an attorney. Couple signed a contract to buy a small dump in a hick town in Wisconsin. In Wisconsin, they usually use lawyers. But it is a small town and only about 100K so they didn't use an attorney. Supposed to close this Friday. Buyer has mortgage ready and had inspection done yesterday. It turns out that although the listing agreement said it had central air, there is no A/C. The Buyer has to have possession cause he has nowhere to live.

What do they do? Title Company can't help. Now I have to get involved anyway.
