They will not only make it right, but most likely take away her license. When holding deposit or trust funds, it must be done carefully. If she did not release the money as the contract stated or as your state requires by their license law then she could be heavily sanctioned or worse lose her license. If it is deemed that money being held will not be released by the holder, the holder must follow the protocol and provide the legal reason why you are not getting the money back required by your state. She has done nothing. I say call her and hold her feet to the fire. Tell her you are calling the real estate commission and filing a formal complaint if she doesn't release the money. If she doesn't respond to that call, file a complaint. It may take a little time, but it will get taken care of.<br><b>References : </b><br> Go to the real estate commission in your state.

Show send her a copy of the photos and a copy of the contract and anything else you have that would be go evidence in court. It sounds like her Real Estate is not going well and she may have used your deposit to pay bills.

I would go directly to the mouth that feeds her. Call the division of Real Estate in your state. Many states require a bond. Although this might not have anything to do with her license she has to sign a moral code. I would make complaints with them, and her current broker. I would be calling century 21's broker as well.<br><b>References : </b><br>+30 years mortgage real estate exp I wouldnt bother with the BBB. I would go directly to the mouth that feeds her.
