Is there anything I can do to avoid something happening or do I wait until something happens to press charges or get a restraining order?
I’m in the process of selling my house. I bought a new house but the settlement days are not the same so the buyer of my house agreed to a 4-day leaseback so I do not have to move out before my new house settles. The buyer of my house has a public Facebook page; she and her friends are posting messages threatening to stalk and harass me during these 4 days of leaseback. Is there legally anything i can do to avoid a situation happening?

I suggest for the present that you simply print out the Facebook page "threats" pending the closing of the sale and e mail your concerns with copies of what you print out to your presumed real estate agent placing him or her on notice. In the interim, you might wish to consult with a real estate attorney about your concerns and present him or her with the Facebook information that you have in hand and follow the advice given.
Presently, you do not have a legal basis to file for a protective order since you have yet to be harassed yet by the buyer of your home.
