That wasn’t actually a term, love.

And OP is back to square one in her house hunt.

Everyone here needs to learn to take yes for an answer.

You really have no business buying a house, OP. You’re too emotional, suspicious and irrational.

Ok so clearly OP isn't cut out for home purchasing/ownership. OP is now involved in neither; the seller failed close the deal; and the buyer agent deserves nothing anyway.

Where's the problem?

The creation of this thread. Actually multiple threads. That were ultimately about nothing.

Actually it's a great lesson for sellers regarding not dicking around someone who is willing to pay your list price.

I'm sorry, what lesson is that? Because my takeaway from this weird tale is buyers are liars (which is a familiar refrain in the real estate industry, but I digress).

I mean, let's review ... OP wants to buy a house and puts an offer on a house and has a tantrum because seller didn't ratify the contract on some arbitrary timeframe in OP's mind and OP imagines that seller did unspeakable things with the offer. At the end of the day, seller does seek to ratify the offer with the terms as offered by OP, who, again, wants to buy the house ... but OP has a temper tantrum and walks because ... why, exactly? Meanwhile, OP still doesn't have a house.

Hmmm, my take away was the sellers and OP's agent told OP that they ratified the offer but they were having "technical issues" that prevented them from sending OP the ratified contract for 2 days. Then OP receives a contract signed 2 days after the time they claimed to sign it, proving they lied to her.

So what? Did the terms change?

Yes. One of the terms was to ratify it by X date. The sellers didn't meet those terms, then lied about it.

It sounds like there are some bitter realtors and sellers on this board. As someone who's sold homes before and will likely sell another in the Spring, I think these sellers and realtors are very foolish (in addition to dishonest). While I've bought homes with contentious negotiations and not cared, most buyers would be turned off with the dishonesty and poor treatment. I would never risk that as a seller, nor would I refuse to ratify a full-priced offer with the hopes of possibly getting just a little bit more.

The sellers had a full-priced offer. They lied about ratifying the offer to try to manufacture a bidding war and failed. Now they turned off the best buyer they had so their home is still sitting on the market. The realtor lied to her client instead of advocating for her and now lost a client and commission on a $1.35M deal. Fools.

You recently lost a sale because the buyers rescinded an offer after you failed to close. Be honest.
