[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the poster who asked about how long it normally takes for a seller to sign a verbally agreed upon offer. I assumed they were letting other buyers view the property over the weekend and would try and get other offers even though they countered my offer which I accepted immediately but they never sent the signed counteroffer contract. After I didn’t hear anything from anyone I called my realtor  to tell them to rescind the offer and that I wanted to move on. They then told me the sellers did sign the agreed upon counter offer Saturday night and they just didn’t see it until Sunday afternoon. After agreeing to send it to me to sign they told me they couldn’t open the docusign and they would need me to wait. I’ve now waited all of Sunday and so far all day today. They also haven’t updated me about what is or isn’t going on. If you really had an issue how hard is it to get the selling agent to just send the docusign again? I suspect no offer was actually signed and they have tried to prevent me from walking away hoping my offer wins and the sellers will eventually sign it. Has anyone else experienced something like this? [/quote]

If you signed the counter, then the offer is ratified. Why do you need to sign it again? And where is your agent? It's completely ridiculous that the agent hasnt updated you. Is it an inexperienced agent, Redfin?

OP again. I didn't sign the counter offer. I sent a signed offer which they countered. I verbally agreed and was told the selling agent would draw it up and send it with the sellers' signatures for me to sign. It never materialized after waiting for 2 days and I assumed they were playing games and pocketing my offer to field other offers over the weekend and use it as leverage. On Sunday I told my agent to pull my offer but they told me the sellers actually did sign the counter offer and sent it but they missed it and would send it over asap to ratify. They then claimed the docusign would not open and they would get back to me. So far crickets. How hard can it be to either draw up a new docusign or get the sellers' agent to resend it?  I don't think the sellers signed anything, I imagine they have received other offers at this point and have used mine to try to get a higher one. I think my agent didn't want me to kill the deal by rescinding the offer hoping mine would ultimately be accepted so they lied and told me it was. The fact that I've heard nothing today is disturbing. [/quote]
