Participant[quote=SK in CV]I’m not a real estate attorney but…
And ignoring for the moment the whole e-mail part of it…
Unlike many other kinds of transactions, in order to be binding, real estate contracts must be in writing. If the written agreement does not include the final agreed upon consideration (price, etc.), there is no “meeting of the minds” (one of the other requirements for a contract) in writing. You don’t have a binding contract.[/quote]
THe email part would be binding if accepted by both parties.
If things are verbal then there is just too much room for misunderstanding. The written part (whether on a pre-printed real estate form or in an email) gives a clarity that the verbal part lacks.So I am assuming you are buying this?
Is the agent you mentioned representing the seller, or the buyer or both?Is this a new home or a resale?
It might be worth your time to speak with an agent that you trust (or at least who has nothing to gain by screwing you).
Good luck.

My Dad just installed ADT (for fear of my brother–lovely).
He really seems to like it and many people in a position to know such things speak highly of them.urbanrealtor

Participant[quote=Zeitgeist]East County. So you do not like firearms, what about dogs?[/quote]
I love dogs.
I have had to give up mine recently.
Can’t have a nippy Shiba around a baby.Really sucked.
Also, I don’t dispute gun rights.
I just find them a little un-helpful.

Participant[quote=Zeitgeist]Big dogs and big guns to protect the family.[/quote]
Generally, neighbors who give a shit protect the family.
Families with guns are only statistically significant in their tendency towards suicide.
Unless you keep a gun on you all the time (and drawn), its not a great help in the city.
Maybe its different where you are.
