Are you rethinking your pre-sale purchase? With rising rates, construction delays, and prices dropping in some areas, many buyers are asking the same question: “What happens if I walk away?”

In this episode, I break it all down:
👉 Why so many buyers are walking from pre-sales right now
👉 What your developer contract actually says (and why it matters)
👉 The real consequences of walking away — including losing your deposit and possible lawsuits
👉 My personal $200,000 loss story (and the hard lessons I learned)
👉 Strategies to save your deposit — like assignments, negotiating a release, and getting legal help

If you’re stuck in a pre-sale contract in British Columbia (or anywhere), this could save you tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

⚠ Key Takeaways:

Deposits are often non-refundable (5–25%)

Developers can sue for damages if they resell at a loss

You may face legal costs or credit impacts if it goes to collections

There are ways to limit the damage — but only if you act quickly

📩 Need Help?
If you’re considering walking from a pre-sale, don’t go silent. Let’s talk about your options:
→ Can we assign it?
→ Can we negotiate out?
→ Can we structure a backup plan?
