The salesperson said they made an exception and allowed the buyer to keep the discount. So he asks, "can you put that in my contract?". The salespersons says no, he is not authorized to do that. So that's what scared them. Unless you buy in cash, you do take some risk.

Did your friends request the Villages agent to take it to a supervisor who may have been able to help? I doubt the developer would want to miss out on a sale financed through its bank unless there were backup offer(s) which could close within the 30 day period. It seems sad to me that it did not work out for them after the time and expense they put into it.
