In December 2001, plaintiff retained Unicasa Frontier Realty Corp. to list her property for sale. On Jan. 12, 2002, plaintiff accepted Mario F. Echevarria’s $410,000 offer in writing. Sandra Londono agreed to represent plaintiff and on March 7, 2002, plaintiff signed a copy of the contract prepared by Londono. Plaintiff claimed that Londono told her that Echevarria had signed the contract on March 6, 2002, that the contract was fully executed and that Londono had the deposits in an escrow account. She asserted that Londono had informed her that the contract provided that the closing would occur within 60 days and would be null and void if the closing did not occur within that time.
