This is my quandry.

[RICHARD]

Three more sets of people came to see the house today.

The last one was the real estate agent that wanted to show the house to his clients, he came by a month ago and told me he knew my dad.

At that time, I told him that I was not going to let him see the house because I offered to show it to him on MY terms- He was the one that showed up in a Saturday afternoon and wanted me to drop everything and show him the place with 15 minutes notice.

I told him that I was sorry - I DID offer him to see the place (he toured it on the day of the open house) a week later, My friends were going to take me out for my b-day that night and had no time to do it at that moment. He declined, He wanted to see it NOW.

The then gave me the "It's more money for for you..." trip and said to him,
"Look if you want the house, bid on it on the 17th, someone had offered to buy it and rent it to me after, so come up with a better offer and it's yours."


I understand that people have to hustle to make a buck these days but this guy was something else.

Here's a question.

When I mentioned this guy to my sister she was vehement about complaining about him. To me, he's just a pest that's looking to sell the house and make his commission on top of the realty/auction house.

She wants me to call everyone and complain, I am of the mind to just let him do his thing. If he wants to bid and wins the house, great.

But, do I drop a dime on him to my lawyer?

What say you?

that is when you sell the place AS IS. That way if there is anything wrong they can't come back & get you to pay out for anything that may be wrong with the house. It is like what you see is what you get. Sold my folks house AS IS with a walk through. The people that bought it knew they had their work cut out for them but did this for a living buying houses fixing them up & reselling them.

No, I've put in a few over the years.

I am safe.

At the rental house?

A few tenants back-they took a brand new water heater and replaced it with a junker right before they left.....

Morons.

Here's an update!


My brother, sister and I went to the court to watch the final auction for the estate properties.


I was saddened by the fact we had to sell them and the prices that they were initially auctioned for.

Today they were auctioned in court and my mom's house went for 2 times the original price and the rental sold for 3.5 times the original bid. That made me happy.

I was thrilled that they were not going to be sold for a song.

So, I have about three - four weeks left here!


I am glad to have a better understanding of what my future holds.

Thanks to everyone who sent good vibes out to me.

More good vibes are on their way right now from us to you, Richard!

Yay! Thank goodness you all persisted, and the right thing happened! Best of luck moving forward!

Excellent mate.
I'm glad you got a better price for those houses.

So glad that things are working out for you, Richard. Sometimes it seems nearly impossible to "keep the faythe" but you did just that and now your blessing.
