    Holy Cr@p! We're buying a house!

    Just a second to what turbosat said. Remember when dealing with real estate it must be in writing. It is one of the rare cases when oral agreements do not stand up if you should ever need to go to court. I'm not a lawyer, but I believe you should consider having one who knows real estate law...
