That depends on what forms are included in your contract.
If you used the Optional Clauses addendum 22D and line item
number 5 was checked then yest they were to remove all trash from
the property and clean the home (cleaning the home is somewhat subjective)
If line item # 4 was also checked then the sellers were responsible for keeping
up the property in the condition as it was when you saw it.
I would first contact your agent and ask them to let the sellers know of your concerns
and of your expectations. In the end it may come down to small claims court but in my
experience the sellers usually concede to following their contractural responsibilities. - Tue Jun 3 2008, 13:48
I am not familiar with your local multiple rules but in seattle unless it is signed around and there are no contingencies it shouldn't be listed as pending.
Lenders are definately difficult to deal with and aren't known for timely responses.
I would continue to have your agent touch bases with the Listing agent to get an update
but besides adding an addendum to your offer stating that " this offer will be withdrawn unless a response is received within x days" there is not much you can do. Especially if there are multiple offers.
Hopefully in your offer your escalator clause indicated that if your offer was accepted it would be contingent upon receiving a copy of the other competing offer to justify your final price.
Good luck. - Thu May 22 2008, 12:12

Finding the home is just one aspect of the whole transaction.
Providing a market analysis on the property you are interested in.
Negotiating the contract.
Not only on price but terms like possession, down, financing contingencies,
Inspection contingencies, title contingencies, disclosure contingencies, neighborhood review, lead based paint if built before 1979. Septic if applicable. The list goes on and on at least here in Washington.
Making sure all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed.
Referring a good inspector, negotiating the inspection items.
Reviewing the disclosure statement.
Setting up escrow and title.
Reviewing the title report.
Giving you access to a great lender.
Making sure all lender docs get to escrow.
Answering a myriad of questions during and after the transaction.
And most importantly representing you and your interests thru the transaction. - Tue Apr 29 2008, 18:38
You may want to search your local online sites and look at the land listings. Try to find and agent
who specializes in land in your area. Good luck. - Tue Apr 29 2008, 18:28
