Sale has been listed as PENDING for over 1 month. Can we make a cash offer to realtor?

Can I contact the realtor and say "I can make your life and the seller's life a lot less stressful and pay you cash for it. ASAP"
The house will remain PENDING for another 6 months. The prospective buyer is on turtle time. I am a cheetah.

What would you do if you were the realtor?

Ha, are you the shark poster from a while ago?

Hilarious. Most likely it went pending immediately from a cash sale and there is a 30-60 days closing period at the sellers request. And/or seller is failing to perform some repair.

You can make a cash offer.

Realistically, they probably won’t accept but will feel more confident in sayings no to any further requests from the buyer. Sometimes that’s all it takes.

When we bought our recent house we offered all cash and signed a 30-day close. But then it took something like three months.

We purchased from an estate sale and a probate issue came up.

Stuff happens that delays real estate transactions.

30 days doesn't seem weird?

It's not. OP is inexperienced with real estate.

Is this a serious question? Are you really this stupid?

Cash is king.

One day when you mature, you will realize this.

One day when you understand what a contract is, you will realize how ridiculous your comment is. The property is not available at this point.

But, it ended up taking even longer than that-not because we "couldn't make the cut" but because the seller was failing to perform on part of the contract (a repair he agreed to do in the contract.) It ended up taking about 5 months to close.

Lol.

5 months? You are worse than a turtle. You are a snail.

Some loans take longer to close than others

Yes. Lots of sales are falling apart b/c of financing issues.

This is why you get $$ or a credit and pay to do it yourself. So it’s done how you want (and correctly) and so that you can move in. I never understand why buyers have sellers fix issues, they will likley pick the cheapest fix!

The current buyer with the contract in place doesn’t necessarily even have a loan.

Buyers choose higher offers with mortgages over cheapskates with lowball cash offers all the time, and 99% of the time it works out.

Pending typically means that there's nothing that will cancel the sale from the buyer's end, they are clear to close. For all you know there's a title hiccup that they're working out.

I generally agree with you. The one time this happened to us was when the house had a 28-year-old roof and we couldn’t find homeowner’s insurance. The seller replaced it before closing.
