OK,I think this is a lesson for all

of us. As a seller, never let the deadline for removing financing contigency over 30 days from mutual agreement. Upon the due date , if you do not receive any notice from buyer about loan rejection, ask your agent write up an notice of"financing contigency removed/satified" ,sign it,deliver to buyer and ask buyer initialize it. So if the buyer can not get loan at the last minutes due to lost of job...etc. buyer can back out but deposit should be kept by seller as compensation(actually deposit is in escrow company's truct account,will be transfer to seller after case done). In your case, you are a FSBO, the lawyer do not have a responsibility to protect you unless you sign a contract with them stating he represnts you ,because he works as an escrow(trust) company which is 3rd party, not your agent.
