    Yes, he can sell the house to someone else. Why in the world would you give the builder a quit claim deed for your property?? If I were you I would close immediately so that the property isn't sold out from under you. Then sue the builder if they don't finish the house.

    You never sign the property over to the builder, they build a house on YOUR property. This sounds very very illegal and fishy to me. I would have an attorney involved in the morning and be demanding my property signed back over to me.

    The builder would either have you get a construction loan.
