On July 27, 2023, I sent my earnest money, $5000, for Eastwood Homes, 5 Marengo Rd, Mauldin, South Carolina after touring the beautiful townhome on July 27, 2023. I hired a private home inspector, completed August 3, 2023, at 2:00pm. Upon receiving the report, I was taken aback by thirty-three issues that were reported. August 7, 2023, I go to work only to discover I was terminated. With this information, I sent Kellie Lamaster an email/letter explaining my situation and was informed by her: “It does not matter you lost your job; you signed the contract. Corporate does not care about the reason, only that you signed.” I was then in the position where I was forced to sign the document releasing me of the purchase, but I did not get my money back. I know I initialed paragraph 18, but this is an honest hardship. I have lost my job and cannot afford this expenditure at this time. This is a necessary decision for what could happen money wise in my future. Does corporate care? Obviously not, only their bottom line. All I ask is for my $5000 in earnest money returned, and we can all continue on.
