Thank you all for your advice. Right now we are going to wait and see if things cool down. We still want the house, but as mentioned, we really aren't willing to deal with the current realtor. When we talked to the realty company and owner however, neither was willing to make a switch, so we may be stuck. My guess is that if the house sits for a bit, there may be an opening. We really love the house, but there are so many on the market right now, we are perfectly willing to walk away.
If we end up making another offer, we will definitely have a lawyer look over everything to make sure there are no surprises.
Again, thanks. If it was meant to be, etc. etc... - Sun Apr 20 2008, 19:13
Thanks for your answers. I really appreciate your opinions. I'm not sure what we are going to do. I doubt we will end up filing a complaint, especially because she is on the board we would file to!! The realtor is known to be 'difficult' so I'm not sure it would accomplish anything anyway.
We are going to think about it a little more and then consider going back in although the thought turns my stomach.
thanks again! - Sun Apr 20 2008, 12:46
Sorry, I am new to this board and was trying to get answers from a broader crowd. If I didn't put it in the right place, I apologize. I only asked it once yesterday and although I appreciated the answers given, I didn't get a feel for how bad the actions were. Is this kind of deception a common occurrence in contract negotiation - are people always trying to slide things in like that, or did she really cross the line of what is normal? - Sun Apr 20 2008, 09:23
