I concur with the above. Definitely very short-term focused. My agent tried something similar with scare tactics, even going so far as to say I would not find another good house again. Chalk it up to immaturity and insecurity. Sounds like he's pushing some of his guilt onto you.

congrats on your new home! usctrojanman29 definitely knows what he's talking about. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. Refreshing, isn't it?

hi, me again. I asked my agent/douchebag about the previous escrow. Here's what he said. "They were in escrow only for a few days. According to the listing agent, it was an all cash offer and the buyer realized that the funds could not be transferred. I do not have much more...

Brojan? perfect combo =)

cool....if this falls through, I may contact you to replace my agent :) Do you cover the LA area also? A member of my family is looking in that area.

Has that really been done (negotiating agent's commission --- I like that idea for this situation)? Couldn't we negotiate with the seller at the time to pay the appraised value (or near the appraised value)? I'm not sure how it works with all the new laws and restrictions. thanks!

thanks for the link....good info! That is crazy how usctrojanman29's listing agents countered and asked to remove ALL contingencies. Well, it looks like they've accepted my offer (with appraisal contigency in place!)....which is somewhat surprising. And for some reason I'm not as...

thanks.... I followed your advice left in the appraisal contigency, and it I'm still in! You were spot on. It's been narrowed to 2 offers, so we'll see what happens next. I'm a little reluctant to give too much info solely for privacy reasons (not sure who comes on here). However it is 3...

hehe....you guys are awesome. thanks for lifting my spirits. So I called the agent and told him we do not believe it is a good idea to remove this contingency, and it is too risky to waive. He responded quickly and without questioning further: "OK no problem, if that is your decision. I...

thanks!!...will take your advice. I had slightly fawked (like that word) myself because when I originally submitted my offer, I bid a little higher than the asking price (as recommended by my agent, since there were multiple offers and he felt this would help). Then they countered with a price...

I appreciate the honest feedback. I'll take a look at that thread now. I was mostly reading in here and the OC forum. The agent said this based on other properties listed in the area, but it does not sit well with me (although I love the house). What do you think about countering the offer...

thanks for the replies. he did not seem too concerned. He feels the appraisal will not be too far from the asking price. Isn't it a strange request from the seller though? I personally have not seen this before.

what would you do if the seller wants to remove a contingency (appraisal)? Under what conditions would you agree to it? thanks.

hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and have been reading a ton of threads. VERY cool site. .i've been trying to find a home in Irvine for a few months - and as expected - it's a frustrating process. I'm willing to live a little outside Irvine, though not too far. Where is the best place to...
