Shankster Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 At what point do I tell this “buyer†to pack sand? Apparently he is going to come back with yet another counter to my response. I really need/want to sell the house, and the other interested party has moved on. So thanks to this guy being a nit picky fool, I have to either agree or just say get lost. What to do? Give him one more chance or take my chances and put it back on the market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankster, I wouldn't entertain any more counter offers. If it was me, I'd stand firm or let them walk. You've already gone above and beyond and they just want to keep on trying to negotiate. Enough is enough. I wouldn't wait too long either. By dealing with this guy, it may put you out of the seller market window (most families plan buying a house during the summer, or before school starts). Ask your real estate agent his/her opinion too (just remember they are tryingto make money off the sale so they maybe more inclined to continue down this path). Discuss with your wife and get her buy in on whatever decision you make. Good luck my friend. MDGolfHacker GB13, tommc23, MattF and 3 others 6 Quote TSssWhat's In This Lefty's Bag?

I live in a weird area and stuff just sits on the market for months sometimes years.... I don't have the luxury of waiting that long or I wouldn't have negotiated at all. As I stated earlier, it's a poker game of sorts and gets down to how bad you want to sell vs. how bad they want to buy. If you're in a difficult market area and have not had a healthy amount of interest in what has been a sellers market the past few years, that is something you need to consider. In the long run, whatever amount of $$ you're talking about will not amount to much. Best of luck!

Reminds me of a story I heard at my Bridging The Gap CLE, dude worked for a bank dealing with an Asian loaner. The guy didn't want to close the deal because of the date being unlucky in his religion as eastern nations are big on numerology. He asked the guy for multiple dates and never heard back. He then made a show of calling the guy, during his presentation to us, and leaving a message on his phone saying that the deal for a 4 Million Dollar loan was off. Nuts. Edit: He said he lost a damn near million dollar fee on that case, but if he couldn't trust the guy he wasn't doing it. tommc23, MattF, Rickp and 3 others 6 Quote In a Hoofer Lite bag TSR2, 10 degrees, A1 setting, Fujikara Speeder NX Blue 50-S Stealth, 15 degrees, VA Composites Nemesys 70-S E722, 19 degrees, Oban Devotion 80-S JPX 921 Hot Metal Pro 4-P, Nippon 950GH Stiff Flex CBX Zipcore 50* (bent to *49) and RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 54* (bent to *55), DG 115 Spinner, Tour Issue Staff Model TG 60*, Dynamic Gold 120 S300 SIK Golf Flo-C Tour B-XS (2022 Model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then at the closing he tried to get some cash out of us that the fireplace/chimney needed reglazing. Got my Dad by the arm and said we are outta here Pop and all hell broke loose.
