There’s this great house we wanted, turns out the day people went through the owners accepted an offer in the afternoon. We were going to put ours in the next morning…too late! But anyways, that was almost two months ago now and the house is still up for sale.
We keep getting different responses from the agent, first he said that the inspection was happening on the 31st of January, and then he said the deal was supposed to close on the 15th of February. The photo is stlil up and the house still looks available. He doesn’t respond to my inquiries, even though I only tried twice….so I use my husbands name and email and he’s been responding to him.
However he told our agents that the buyers are happy with the deal and that it may be a relative that is buying the house but not getting everything together.
If it’s such a done deal why don’t they take the house off of mls?
It’s frustrating, it’s perfect for us. Anyways….I don’t understand how this real estate business works, I figured they’d just take the listing off.


They will not take it off until the deal is done. It should; however, be listed as “under contract”. Sounds like they are “holding it ” until a relative gets affairs in order. Which is against the law. Your agent should know that. Maybe he cant prove it. It could also be a warning from the POWERS THAT BE that this is not the house for you. Afterall God will open doors for you when it is right. I am sorry that this is happening to you guys but take it as a sign.
