I am also a loan officer. Im having my broker refinance my own loan . I had a 4.875% from 7 months ago . Going to a 3.625% and getting $-1,500 back in closing costs plus our usual 2% lender comp 🙂 yesterday the rate was $1,600 better if I would have locked . I locked 2 days ago. Lender rate sheets come out every morning
usually (in the last two days it’s been volatile so 2-3 reprices in a day). These rates are the lowest we seen since 2012. The best indicator of our business is the 10
Year treasure rate . It goes up a few ticks in a day then the interest rate for mortgages adjusts the next day. Each rate has a specific lender credit that can go up or down from
$500 to $1500 a day until locked .

Redfin (updates from sandicor in 1 hour) & Zillow (slow to update) are really great sites.

The only thing they are missing are the confidential remarks section that sandicor has

I just thought I would ask the seller for the asking price before it went on the market at 5% selling commission and before any repairs including Termite section 1 were completed.

I would be interested in buying as it is before you list it. Let me know what price you have in mind . I’ll send you a PM

It would be because the broker who will do the paper work increases their liability 2x for a potential lawsuit because both the seller and the buyer could complain about something . If you want someone to just guide you through the process and give you the forms I’ll be happy with $1000 as a consulting fee to help you do a for sale by owner . I”m a licensed realtor , loan officer and active flipper . I’ll give you the standard forms and tell you what to do. Pretty easy really

So it is not until day 17 of escrow contingency removal or day 21 loan contingency removal when pressured by the seller the buyers earnest money deposit becomes hard or on the line aka irrevocable consideration and buyer is now fully committed then if seller decides to delay escrow by not signing grant deed seller can be held liable at this point for seller breach damages .

[Geedup]

I’m a realtor and loan officer not qualified to give legal advice but my understanding is that a seller can’t back out if you are performing on your end. If the seller backs out you can arbitrate him at Sdar and he can be liable for specific performance (he must sell you the house) or give you around 3% of the house price or your earnest money deposit . If it’s around day 15 and you haven’t removed everything but your loan contingency he could give you the buyer your notice to perform and then cancel escrow in 2 days at day 17. The seller can’t just decide he doesn’t want to sell to the buyer for no reason without getting sued or arbitrated .

At this point the buyer has already been out inspection and appraisal fees and the listing agent could sue the seller as well for his or her commission if they have found an able and willing buyer.

You should tell your agent to call her Sdar free legal help line to register the property address so the other agent is forced to hire a costly attorney if the situation gets worst.

What day are you in escrow and has the seller given you a “notice to buyer to perform ” have you missed a deadline?

FYI sometimes sellers will try to scare the buyer away by disclosing “foundation problems , needs work, roof leaks, slab leaks , mold ” then deny the repair requests in hopes the buyer will take off on his own so the seller can’t be sued .

Escrow must remain neutral in this situation and can only act if both seller and buyer agree. Buyer could hire an attorney who could file a Lis pendens to cloud the title so
Seller can’t sell to someone else.

What does your agent say ?

Actually here is your answer :

Basically you have a seller breach and unfortantely you need to sue the seller and try to get both sides agents to push the seller is saying they will
Seek commission from them if they try to back out when the buyer is performing .

I bought a Big Green Egg off of Craigslist for cheap about a year ago. Nothing cooks like it. I cooked ribs on it slow and low last night. It’s a cult following but once you become an egg head you never can go back to propane or natural gas.

You might want to look at The Big Green Egg. Search for Craigslist to see if you can find a used one in good condition. I’ve had mine for 2 years and love it. They are pricey but they will last a lifetime. You can even make your own pizza on it.

Also you are failing to consider the double oven and microwave oven that actually did work. When buying appliances off craigslist that have been pulled out where you can’t test them you should have discounted your offer to reflect this risk. But pretty much it is understood that you are buying them as-is. He can claim
(falsely) your install caused the malfunction somehow. Hopefully you didn’t pay too much for the whole lot. You may want to negociate with him one more time and threaten to bring a small claims lawsuit and see if he bites but for $100 it isn’t worth anyone’s time and he might tell you to bring back everything and get your money back. Chaulk the $100 loss to experience and test before you buy or offer to buy them at a huge discount explaining to the seller your offer entails the risk that it might not work. All it all it doesn’t sound you are losing money because a double oven, microwave and dishwasher cost about $2000-$3000 new and you should have paid about $400 used for the whole lot less if it was not stainless/
