I'd say you have no idea but apparently you do.
The deal I thought I had locked up in late feb was the land I
REALLLY wanted. Talked to the owner w/o the realtor, got him to
agree to a price that screwed him on the value of the land BUT
he was really pressed for time and he wanted to close by april
but not move out until the end of may. We were cool with it even
though 'technically' it's not khosher. I got him to tell me EXACTLY what he truly HAD to have, we added some to cover his realtors, talked him into paying closing if we went up a touch more, I tried to get his pickup but no go. And his kids loved the horses so no on that
as well. but in any case, the realtors being pissy at being left out
of the loop, jacked around, screwed me screwed him and in the end
screwed themselves out of 6% because as he told me if he couldn't get the money by his deadline then he HAD to take it off the market and
just stay where they were. WTF?!?! WHO DOES THAT?
Really I figure it was that they were so full of lies all the time
they assumed each of us (buyer and seller) were lying for some unknown
reason and thought they could play it out for more cash.
Grrrrrr.... com wrath realtor
