Now as soon as you liked the house he should have called the sellers agent back and should have told them that you guys liked the house and were planning on writting and offer and if he got an offer on the mean time to contact him. It looks to me like you or your agent were at fault here. You didn't understand each other or weren't ready to decide right away. One of you two dropped the ball.


I can understand where your coming from, and the only reason we had waited to put in an offer a day or two was simply to look around a bit more. I never like jumping on the first thing I see, however the house was definitely on the top of our list so far. But to clarify my first thread here, I'm pissed over the fact that the selling agent somehow convinced the property owner to remove any contingencies, and also over somebody obviously using a scare tactic with somebody else who is from 2000 miles away and never even seen the damn house, let alone a first time buyer. It's unethical bullshit, they should have presented all offers to the seller. Anyways, we put in an offer on another one we liked alot. Hopefully they'll accept it, I'm keeping my fingers crossed here.
