Closing Doubtful

Questionable Behavior Arises Again
It once again appears our "Out-of-State" Seller existance is in question. We are both again also questioning how serious this occassionally appearing individual is on the subject of selling this house. I personally see alot of research into various "agencies" rules and regulations ahead.

How can a licensed Realtor list a home for sale without proper contacts? This is the 2nd time that the Seller's agent has not been able to get a response from their client. We are entitled to submit the Repair Request according to my understanding of the Offer to Purchase contract that we have, yet it goes unacknoledged. We have been REFUSED a signed copy of this Offer to Purchase by this same agent with claims that it is "not required" by their office." I don't know how the courts feel about faxes and emails so I INSIST on an original for my records.

This same treatment happened when we submitted the Offer to Purchase initially, except I was the one that said "Withdraw the Offer." Now it's coming from the other half of the "we" and he is furious.

One Week From Closing Date

The Sound of Silence....AGAIN
Well one week from today, as our "Offer to Purchase" now states, is our closing date. (Aug 31) The Seller's Agent was presented with the Repair Request and Agreement after our meeting with our agent late Monday afternoon/evening, and we have yet to receive any sign of life.

Let me interject that this seller is out-of-state and after failing to even acknowledge our Offer to Purchase for a WEEK....we withdrew that offer promptly the next business morning! Lesson for all purchasing a home and dealing with "out-of-town" owners --> Set a time limit for responses! Now in fairness to individuals who must move before their homes are sold, I am sure when dealing with these homeowners a buyer would have no problems. On the other hand, if you happen to be dealing with a business of some kind that owns the home, they need to be reminded that you don't care how "busy" they are....you only care about 1 house deal.
