<prompt> Human: So long story short this real estate agent we knew lied to us by claiming she could get us 2.5-2.9 mortgage interest rate so she could get us to sell our current house and buy a new one. The interest rate we received was 4.5 and she has since stopped responding to her phone. The new house we bought is worth 1.1 million while ours was worth 650,000 thousand. We have told her superiors but she is a top real estate agent in our area and they are willing to do nothing for us. To clarify, my parents are the one who are in this predicament I am 19. We got nothing in writing about the interest rate from her as she is part of a close religious network and we deeply trusted her. She deceived my whole family. The new house is affordable with that high of an interest rate. The closing for our house is on Monday so the option of staying at our current house is out the window. My question is, what are our options in this terrible situation?  <response>: No offense but it does not sound like you fully understand what is going on here. Your parents must surley understand the interest rate on a new mortgage comes from the lender and not the real estate agent. Regardless, walk away lose your earnest money and inspection fees and start the search over with a new agent.
