Putting an offer on a home........(law ?)

by love11 in

to make a long story short- last saturday, we put an offer down on a house.

then sunday and mon.

we did some research on mortgages and decided that we could get a better rate of interest if we waited till next spring to buy a home.

damsel-

From the beginning it was considered more of a practice run by everyone involved because they already were negotiating with other buyers. I just hope this practice run doesn't bite us later. If nothing comes of this- it was a good learning experience. At least we know how it works now, but I still feel bad that we didn't wait till they responded back to us. I'll be sitting on pins and needles until I find out what is going to happen.

My husband e-mailed her earlier today and asked if they officially accepted/rejected our offer. She hasn't responded yet.

G Money- do you know the laws in the US?

Also, my husband told her that we are waiting till next spring because my father would help us out with a down payment then. So would that be considered in one of the contigencies?

It was contingent on financing, seller paying for closing costs, and inspection.

this is my first post of any significance and if i seem to ramble at times please forgive me.

i have alot to say and i don't know how much of it will make sense.. .

i need help in trying to figure out how to get out of "the truth".

Move far away from any family or friends.

Then you will only have to "put on" when you visit them in town.

If you can't do that, well...........there is no easy way out of that organization! But if you find one, let everyone else know how!

Good Luck!

Should we try and contact our agent to see if the offer was officially rejected ? Or should we just leave well enough alone and hope the problem goes away?

Love....you need to get an OFFICIAL denial letter

I know, my husband apparently didn't believe me when I told him that.

I know from experience that buying a house can be a big strain on a relationship. My suggestion is to go make up with your hubby and not stress too much. I think it will all work out ok...

Thank you, I've been in tears over this. I know you can't control what other people do, but if someone told me, "Don't do this, we could be sued." I wouldn't do it!!!

But with that said, I dont' want us to be apart. Maybe because I don't want to lose anymore family, or maybe it's because I love him. Even when he's stupid. Does that make me stupid? Probably. But if we get sued it will just be the straw that broke the camels back, I don't think we could recover from that.

So I'm going to make up with him, when I finish steaming. Then I'll just wait and hopefully won't ever be served with papers.

Sorry for not explaining everything well.

We had an appointment to see the house at 10 am Sat. When we got there, she said, "I have some bad news for you. Someone made an offer, but nothings in writting yet, it's all over the phone, so technically you can still bid on the home if you like it. It was our second time through, my dad said, "Just to get your feet wet and see how it's done, why don't you put an offer on this house, make it really low since the house is probably sold anyways." So we did. Then after looking into mortgages, property taxes, down payments, etc,. I thought it would be best to wait until next spring because we are expecting some more money coming our way by then anyways.

Our real estate lady immediately said, "Their agent laughed at the offer, so I think we should keep looking. " She wanted to set up more appointments this week.

We decided that we should just tell her, that until we get proof they rejected our offer we'll just blow her off until this Sat. when the offer is void. Then we'll tell her that we are waiting till the spring.

After deciding that, my husband, without talking it over with me told her that we decided to wait until the spring. I was upset because we signed a contract and my word was at stake. If he would have just waited I'm sure they would have denied our offer, but now it's all up in the air.

JW spies on the JWD

what do you have to say to all the jws who under the direction of the governing body are lurking and spying on this forum and then give the gathered intel to their masters?

How would you react if the US Government was telling you:

You can't talk to your children if the courts say so.

You can't watch certain movies that they decide is wrong.

You can't wear certain clothes that they feel is inappropriate.

You can't have any family parties.

You can't divorce, even in the case of severe abuse.

You can't have sex without a court document saying it's ok.

You cannot hold functions or do certain activities without the governments verbal approval in a court meeting with your designated judge.

Oh -and if you do any of these things you will be marked and branded so that no one in the world is allowed to talk to you.

If someone talks to a branded person, then they risk being branded too, at that particular judges discretion.

If you would not accept that from them, why are you accepting that life from the Jehovah's Witness Publishing Company-WT?

To make a long story short- Last Saturday, we put an offer down on a house. Then Sunday and Mon. we did some research on Mortgages and decided that we could get a better rate of interest if we waited till next spring to buy a home. Then we could go FHA.

When we made the offer, the real estate lady said that the house already had a verbal offer on it and the other company has it listed on their board as sold. However, at the time I wondered if that was true and the real estate people were just trying to get us to put a high offer on it. Well, my dad came and said to bid low and so we did. The agent said that the other agent saw the offer and laughed. But I told my husband to not tell the agent that we had decided to wait to buy until this spring because then it would look like we defaulted on the contract. I wanted to wait till the offer expired (this Sat.) to tell her that we were going to wait. Well my husband agreed and then he went upstairs to tell her that we weren't going to see anymore properties because we were waiting, instead of saying that we wanted to wait on seeing more homes until they deny our offer. My dad says that we could be sued now for defaulting on the offer. Now me and my husband are fighting terrible and I told him that if we are sued I am divorcing him. I don't know what to do. I feel sick about the whole thing. And to top it all off, my husband went upstairs and shut the door so I wouldn't hear what he was telling the agent. Why couldn't he just explain that he had a different opinion on what to do? Why did he have to do it in secret? And I just finished telling him that I didn't want to say that because I was afraid we could get sued, so I thought the smart thing to do was to say that we didn't want to see anymore properties until they tell us that they did not accept our offer. My husband said that he told her just so she wouldn't keep bugging us all week to see more houses.

Does anyone know how we can solve this? Do you think we are going to be sued? My dad said that if the seller can't sell the property then they could come back on us and say that they would have taken our offer but weren't given the chance to say. Help!
