I want drama. I’d love to be a fly on the wall and see the realtor’s reaction after the 5th person gave her the same Not-Touching-This-Property-With-Anyone’s-Money treatment that you gave her.
At what point does the realtor give up and tell the seller that no one is willing to pay well over half a million dollars for a 2-1?? At what point does a sulking-seller begrudgingly lower their price by 5 grand and think that will suffice?
I really don’t like putting my purchase on hold while I wait for a seller to work through their emotions, but my coin is hard-earned. Stop your thrashing and be rational already.
