• SUIT FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE
  
  If a seller breaches a real estate contract, the buyer may sue for specific performance. The buyer asks the court to force the seller to go through with the sale and convey the property as previously agreed. The buyer may choose to sue for damages, in which case the buyer asks that the seller pay for costs and hardships suffered as a result of the seller's breach.
