Yes Puna, I am the "confidential" client and I am annoyed.
Well honestly not annoyed anymore, just moved on and even more determined.
Frankly, I have no respect for individuals whom put a contract on a home and back out - in 1 day.Cold feet ? Perhaps. But understand that you are effecting peoples lives in the process.
This wasn't a case of financing, inspections,title,survey or any of the like. I would respect any of the usual conditions - hey we would do the same if there was an issue on a home we were purchasing, but it is a bit much( or a bit little ) to back out in 1 day.
We have been attempting to return to Virginia since April , as my partners Mom suffered a disabling stroke and we determined that we needed to return asap.
This is the oddest real estate market we have ever been in. After buying and selling 5 homes you think we could figure out how to sell a rather new "lightly lived in" home in Leilani that is priced well.But in 6 months this was the first contract.
Well onward and upward. Yet another showing tomorrow. Maybe they will be the "perfect buyer" we need.
Though I don't need a 14 day period in which a seller can back out for any reason - that doesn't work - especially when you have to make plans to relocate back to Virginia, with pets, and need a home when you arrive.
Anyhow - positive thoughts and prayers in the direction of Leilani would be greatly appreciated.
