So, two weekends ago we had agreed to the amendment by the sellers' bankruptcy attorney and we were waiting on the sellers to sign the offer. Apparently, these people who are going through bankruptcy like to "go out of town" a lot (go figure) so they wanted to wait until the beginning of the following week to sign the offer. Well, on Wednesday we were given the bad news. Another offer had come in. Apparently, the listing agent was still letting the house be shown even though we had presented an offer (can we say unethical). The listing agent said we needed to bring our highest and best offer. So, basically these people were just dragging their feet to see if they could get a better offer. Common sense tells me that the second offer was just high enough where we could have come back with something just a little bit better than what we had originally offered. Our decision...we told the sellers to they suck!!! J/K...Essentially, that's what we wanted to do though. We decided to remove our offer since we didn't want to waste time doing business with people who were so unethical and dishonest. Thanks to our agent, Amy, who told the listing agent of what she thought of the whole business (professionally, of course).
So, let the search begin...again...
I feel your pain...I remember those days. I am praying the perfect place comes open and you have a smooth deal in the future! Love you both! ;)
