A purchaser, having contracted to buy property contingent on obtaining financing, sued the seller for breach of the promise to sell after the seller unilaterally withdrew, claiming the purchaser had failed to diligently pursue a loan, while the purchaser argued the financing clause was merely for their benefit and they could waive it, but the court dismissed the appeal, holding that when a promise to sell includes a suspensive condition precedent related to the buyer's obligation to secure financing, the buyer must demonstrate they actively sought the necessary loan through diligent efforts; absent such proof, the seller was entitled to consider the agreement void due to the unfulfilled condition.
