OMG drama llama is trying to get me fired. Too much to go into on iPhone, but including trying to spread a rumor that I kept my job by sleeping with my boss. Fucking toxic.
smonster, WHAT THE SHIT? I want to have her killed. But having Maria and Vortex sue her into next year might do as a substitute.
sj, good luck. Hopefully the seller will realize that they aren't going to get anywhere and come down some more.
My brother just sold his house, he ran the counter offer by his realtor but also crunched then numbers again himself to see what he felt he could reasonably go down.
However the differences in the counter offers weren't as extreme.
Well, they did just set the price and haven't had time to let the market tell them otherwise. Maybe they felt insulted by your offer and were just reacting with an insulting offer and will calm down and look at it more clearly by your counteroffer. Don't give up yet.
Ugh. Sorry to hear crappy stuff is going on smonster & sj.
In good news, however, I am going to have actual writing written by ME performed by real actors on a real stage come the real month of June. I fell all Real Writer-y right now.
Congratulations, Sean! That's so fabulous!
Sean! That is awesome news! Go you!
Teppy, yes the seller's agent should advise them when they are being unreasonable in their expectations.
Suzi, I totally understand if they can't go lower, but there are better ways to go about it. Plus, they are moving into her mother's place, so I would think a lower proce wouldn't hurt them too badly.
We're not completely giving up. We probably will counter offer, but I need to prepare myself for it not going our way so that I can move on and keep looking.
Plus, they are moving into her mother's place, so I would think a lower proce wouldn't hurt them too badly.
sj, they may be upside down on the house and owe more than the market value. It's possible that they're trying to avoid foreclosure. The bank may be forcing them to sell for what they owe before they approve a short sale. I'd be hesitant to assume a lower price isn't harmful unless you know their specific circumstances.
I do agree that they could have communicated it in a better fashion.
smonster - that is just crazy.
and sj I got some advice from my real estate agent -- basicly 5000 is the line not to quibble over -- so 1k say to me that they aren't ready to negotiate - good luck
