Crushed

A "friend" of ours is selling his home. We find out after he has hired realtor. We had pre approval for morgage and seller wants to dump realtor because we did not use the realtor. He attempts to dump realtor because he showed us the house on his own and we had preapproval. Tries to get rid of realtor, no success, but instead of 6% commission, realtor agrees to 1200.00 total costs to seller if we go through realtor. We agree. My husband and I meet realtor Saturday he draws up "Standard Agreement For the Sale of Real Estate" and we sign and initail. We need FHA to cover closing costs and the realtor sends to anther lender to get approvl and poss. lwr intrst rate. With no immediate $ down he says Judgement note in the amount of 2000.00 will sufise as we agreed with seller. This will take place Monday and he will call. No call Monday I call he says no response yet frm his lender. Tuesday no call..being patient. Wed morning 9am we are approved through his lender the day before, just no time to call, we need $5500.00 down, we call 1 hr later to say no problem. no realtor, lving messages. 5pm his secretary calls and says seller takes other offer and papers are signed that day at 2pm and seller is getting 3000.00 less for property b/c realtor is getting his 6%. I live in PA, can this happen even after we have signed this agreement for purchase??? Come 60 days we have no place to live, gave landlord 60 day notice and he has new renter frm a waiting list.

Post too long with details not needed.

Then don't give soo much room...

If I gave you a long rope, would you hang yourself?

Your car speedometer can go up to 120 mph, would you go that fast?

homegroper,,,, get a life...

My response:

I assure you, HomeGuru not only has "a life", but he's got a home to go to, also - - unlike some people who come to these Boards.

IAAL

A really really REALLY big house too..

The speedometer on my LTD goes up to 140. (retired cop car) I tried it, topped out at 130. My speedometer in my Mustang goes to 85. Yup. Done it. Any more questions? Wait. You still have hers to answer.

A little dismayed with the childish posting. Instead of the energy spent insulting people who spend a lot of time and energy of their own answering these posts without profit, how about a thank you? In times like now, bickering about how someone answers a free post seems inappropriate. So, Home Guru, for all the time you spend reading and trying to help people to the best of your ability while limited to the minute amounts of information and unknown factors given, a big thank you. And to all the others that have given their time on these boards, a thank you as well. To all the volunteers in New York and those who lost loved ones, my prayers are with you. Your dedication, strength and compassion makes me proud to be an American.

My response: thank you faithandhope and God Bless America.

Well, it would take a lawyer to turn a ungodly tragety into a Hymm for a fellow lawyer. Yes, i'm in the wrong for being a little too short with "HomeGuru". I'll be the first to admit that. He desearved it however in my eyes(there is a 1ST ammendment). Maybe we all need to be a little more caring after what has happened to America. Thank God I live in a country that allows people to have free speech! Thank You to all those that spend the time in responding to people's legal problems. But I ask that you of "higher education" be a little understanding of others. I beleave enough time has been spent wasted even speaking about my few words. In short,,,,, GET OVER IT!! Americans have better things to do now that ours eye's have opened and this includes you, me and HomeGuru... so to recap, I'm so sorry your or mr guru's feelings were hurt but my point still stands,,,, get a life......

I sing this for HomeGuru every day !


"Battle Hymm of the Republic"

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.

I have seen him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.


I have read a fiery gospel, writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."


He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before his judgment-seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.


In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me:
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

I shouldn't be surprised...

It seems they do alot of this...(from one board to another,) squabble over trivial things... like telling people how much to say and not really answering the question...

Know I see ... They go from question to question, (real people trying to get some answers,help) just to critique their sentences and such... must make them feel important.

Well I guess our whole preschool class needs a nap and a hug. Sorry, am not a lawyer (just play one on TV) but a person with industry knowledge that out of sheer boredom and a perverse facsination with the law on this subject, replies from time to time. Had just wanted to say thanks to you legal guys that do help, didn't mean to ruffle any feathers with anyone else. I'll lose my humor and just stick to playing with my dolls. Thanks for the battle hymn though, had forgotten all the words. I'll make it part of my morning mantra while at my lawyer shrine. Have a good day and my claws are now sheathed.

Just my two cents worth, for however cares.
For the past 6 years I've dedicated myself to learn the ins and outs of the web. I've been a participant in very many forums of diverse nature. Just today I needed some guidance in real estate matters and posted on this forum. HomeGuru responded to my post in an honest attempt to help me. For that I am grateful. Warface, be grateful we have persons who give of their time and expertise to help others. Perhaps you are an attorney who disdains of others trying to help. I know the kind. I've been there and back. You fail amongst very many others to understand what the web is about. It is a community where each person gives a little. Because of this fundamental principle, the web is what it is. Every once in a while people with self-interests try to bash the majority who truly try to help. But the majority, myself included, dismiss the ocassional basher and see their self-interests.
