Last Thursday, after going back and forth with the potential buyers of our house, we decided to reject their requests for items to fix at our house. It's a very long story, but their realtor went behind our backs and gave them documentation from a roof repair company that we had not even seen before. In addition, we started having second thoughts about the house we had a contract on. Since the purchase of the new home was contingent on the sale of our current home, both contracts were basically void. We are fine with staying here and just couldn't believe how fast everything happened. We had a nice weekend, free of thinking about houses, inspections, moving, etc.
Tuesday, the managing broker of Coldwell Bankers (the agency both we were using, as well as the potential buyers of our house were using) called me. Apparently the potential buyers of our house really want our house and believe we terminated the contract because we changed our mind about selling our home (and not due to the repair issues). I believe this is based on what their realtor, Gina, told them, even though she is the one that actually broke the contract by going behind our backs and getting her own estimate and giving to them. The broker told me that if we don't sell the house to them, they are going to get their attorney involved. Really??!! I was totally shocked at this development.
Brandon and I eventually decided we would consider selling to them under a few stipulations (reduced commission from selling our home, later closing date, a small lump sum for repairs they want to make, and that they are told the truth about what their agent did). So we should hear back from them tomorrow. What an emotional roller coaster this has been!
We are leaving for the beach on Saturday...yay!! Going to Ocean Isle in NC for a week. I'm so excited for Hadley's first beach trip! I've made a list of everything I need for her, which is alot! Here's hoping it all fits in the car :)
