I submitted a full price offer with roof being inspected within three days as contingency to make sure the home was insurable. The agent calls me and says there is another offer both cash offers btw but they were going to counter my offer with removing the contingency. I disclosed to the agent that I couldn't buy a home that I may not be able to insure she stated that because it is a cash offer and that I could. I said well I cannot have a home in another state that may not be insurable. She said so you are willing to lose this deal? I said I guess I wouldn't have a choice but have them counter and I will respond. Agent two hours later calls back and says they took the other offer. The seller never responded to my offer at full list price or countered. I have purchased ten homes in my life and I know there are 1799 more to choose from on the market but...wow. Not feeling very happy with TV listing service or agents at the moment.. Have a great evening one and all!
I purchased a home online through a Village realtor. When I arrived to my house from out of state the listing that I saw online versus what I got was completely misrepresented. I have owned 8 homes and this has never happened to me. Without getting into details I decided not to retain an attorney but just move on with my life. Totally unprofessional and they get away with their nonsense because they’re not affiliated with a professional realtor’s association. If people start posting snarky remarks to you on this feed just ignore their remarks and know that your opinion is valid and true. You have to watch it here as it’s different than other areas of the country.
