Business ProfileforSouthland Log Homes

On 03/31/2023 paid $19,375.34 down on a log house package from South Land Homes including a Adendum to Sales Contract Builder's Price Contingency of $115,600.00 . This Contingency was for "Price includes basement and home dry-in. The salesman Mike Harville said he had a contractor to agree to the contingency and called the contractor. The contractor agreeded and I was to meet him at the job site the following week. Then the contractor backed out. So we had to find a builder and found one that the bid was for $98,000.00 and basement is an additional $50,700.00. This puts us above our contingency. We have done everything South Land Homes asked for, but they notified us that they are keeping all the $19,375.34. The contingency states that the purchaser shall loose $3500.00 for administrative fee. South Land Homes who states several areas on their paper work, they don't recommend builders or warrant any work found a builder that we are not wanting to build the house due to review and no licence on file according to Builders Zoom review and information. I feel South Land Log Homes needs to return my deposit. I was pressured by the salesman to put a depost down so his builder would put us on his calendar to build the house. Then several other expenses have come up as well that salesman never mentioned. Would appreciate help to get my depost returned.
