Thank you, Lucky, Tom, Jean, Ardell, Maredith, Mark, Mary Scott and Marcia.
I really do appreciate your taking the time to answer my question in this most gratis atmosphere. I realize that given time and space, I was not specific enough for you to address my issues fully, though I think I gleaned good answers going forward, thanks!
In short I take away this: If I sign the current WAR Agreement (without addendum) I can continue to take ‘back up offers’ (only) with proper disclosure – which is hard to do in this market, as buyers will go elsewhere. Makes perfect sense.
Interestingly enough, we are already negotiating a back up offer, though informal at this time.
Patrick - good luck in your continued negotiation of absolutes, and fending off mythical beast that represent certain insecurities.
JR – good luck in your pursuit of omniscience! - Wed Aug 20 2008, 11:27
Patrick – a quick read of your bio says it all:
(("If you're thinking about buying, there's a ton of inventory out there…My focus…negotiating your absolute best price"))
Renouncement of another negotiation technique without basis, while openly advertising to potential buyers to behave as such is actually a little morose from a sociological perspective, and comes off as just another sophomoric self-promotion technique that seems to be a recurring theme around here.
((My focus…negotiating your absolute best price))
Just how does one negotiate in absolutes anyway? Perhaps JR is god like after all. - Tue Aug 19 2008, 23:54
Thanks folks – for those even minded enough to read and post in kind, I am grateful. For those who project inaccuracies based on white spaces, I am sorry.
The closing date is 62 days away, for those who asked, due to buyer relocation from distant places.
JR - The buyer may or may not be qualified – but thus far the bank said they are approved – but who really knows in the grand scheme of things – save God, JR, all agents and some future underwriter..(?) - Tue Aug 19 2008, 19:15
Marcia,
Thanks for taking time to answer my question.
My question was geared towards 'after' the contract gets signed around. - Tue Aug 19 2008, 11:12
