buyer caught up in a bankruptcy/short sale squeeze

We've been working for a homebuyer since June trying to close a purchase.He thought he did everything right BUT you can't account for "out to lunch" sellers or their "not so helpful" bankruptcy attorney.

illegal and racist restrictions in title

It's rare to see these old cruel restrictions in title. Normally we see them in old old deeds, but I am examining title for land in Somerset County and the deed from 2006 still has this clause:"The occupancy of the lot shall be restricted to Caucasians only."It dates back to the subdivision in 1949, but why the attorney left it stand is beyond me.
