bank issued a highest & best call after we had accepted theit counter

What is the name of your state?Georgia

After 2 offers and counter offers we accepted the banks counter on their REO forclosed property. The acceptance was by e mail followed by a signed sales contract. The listing broker is the managing broker of our realtor(who is a buyers broker) He issued the call without checking with his agent ( our agent). Two deadlines for acceptance by the seller have come and gone. No one will correspond with us except our broker and she claims no knowledge of events that should have happened.

Since we accepted the sellers counter without any changes, how can refuse to sell to us.

**A: confusing post. Get your facts straight.

The acceptance was by e mail followed by a signed sales contract.

If you accepted a counter-offer and emailed your acceptance (hopefully with received confirmation), and followed up by sending the signed contract, I believe you have a good contract.

An email, although it does not contain a handwritten signature could still be used as communication of offer's and acceptance. In the near future, you will see "Electronic Signatures" widely used**************"Put in your pin code......there's your signature."

If you have a signed agreement in your hands, that does not contain any counters, then take all your documents to a REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY. And, inform all the parties involved (Agent's, Broker's, Seller) what you are going to do**************...get the attorney involved**************it doesn't look like anyone is working in YOUR best interest!!!!
