Some Info Comes In
We finally heard from the home owners today, about 40 hours late.The listing agent returned my realtor's call and said that she is taking our offer over to the home owners right now.
She said that they "appear to be going through with the transactions."
Also, she said that their attorney has too see all the papers.
I don't know what is going on, but I have some thoughts:
1. They are idiots that, for some reason, feel they need to hire an attorney to handle these simple transactions.
2. They are idiots that, for some reason, signed a contract to buy a house and sell their existing house when they are not prepared financially to do so.
3. They are getting a divorce.
My bets are on #3.
This latest experience has been annoying and disheartening, but it will all be OK if we can get the deal we want. We should hear something within 24 hours. I'm hoping we hear something within 8 hours.
But I'm not optimistic. I'd be a fool to have any optimism at this point. I'm half-expecting to not hear from them right away, and then find out they are letting other people see the house in hopes that they can get a higher price for it.
