Bring on the drama!!!

Well, you know that saying "If it is too good to be true...." I was thinking that big time today!!! Mark called me this morning to tell me that our real estate had just called him to say that the seller wanted to back out of her end of the signed offer agreement contract. I was like "WHAT THE F*CK?!". She stated that she felt she wasn't getting enough money for the house... so she might just rent it instead!!!! Well that is great that you think that... but it is a little too late for that one!!! LOL

After me fuming for a good hour or so.... Mark still went to the planned inspection at 1:30 this afternoon, because bascially we are moving forward as planned towards our October 19th close date (that got updated from Oct 15th due to Mark being out of town all that week). Our agent talked with the title company attorney's, and they basically said that we have all the legal recourse that we could have on our side. This woman signed a legal offer contract and that is that!! We are NOT backing down at this point. We just can't let her get her way or whatever crap she is trying to pull. Mark thinks she might have gotten another offer right after ours or something. I think it is that... or she is trying to play the money game with us (which she is not getting another penny from us) or she is just an idiot!!!! At the inspection today, her agent's office (it was not her actual agent that was there, but another agent for the same office) said that the house was staged (furniture and all, which I suspected b/c all of the furniture was too nice to just be sitting there) and this woman did this for a living... like she might be a flipper or something. What a dumb ass though!!! You would think she should know better!!! We offered her the full asking price... so she just needs to get over the whole thing, LOL. Her decision to maybe just rent or whatever should have been made in the 50+ days the house was on the market!!

So.... like I said, we are moving forward like all is fine. We will be there at close, and if she doesn't show up.. she is screwed! At that point, we will have to decide if we want to sue her or not for the house... which all that we have talked to (our agent, title attorney's, mortgage guy) think that a judge would rule on our side no matter what b/c of the signed paperwork. At this point, I don't think we would want to go down that long road.. that would be pretty nuts!! You have to think that the fact that we didn't coward away today shows her we are serious and that she better stick to closing... otherwise, she could be in for a lot more money!!!

So.... bring on the drama!!!! I should have know that buying a house for us wouldn't be so simple!!!! LOL
