Freddie Mac you broke my heart.  You teased me with your beautiful little condo nestled on the wooded hillside by the lake.  Two ample bedrooms and two sparkling baths complete with tile floors and sleek tile tub surrounds.  Your spacious south facing living room took full advantage of the fleeting Seattle sun.  But you, unresponsive, communication challenged and unable to commit.  My intentions were clear from the very start, I wanted your condo to be my own to have and to hold in sickness and health to sale do we part, but it seems it was just not to be.  Perhaps you have been wounded by other less serious suitors but 30 days is way too long to expect me to wait.  Terms agreed to orally but no written response.  As beautiful and seductive as your condo is I have left you for another. 

Three days from offer to inspection and now ready to close.  My new condo is beautiful and fully committed, closer to the city center and in way better shape. You my old flame, I wish all the best.  Perhaps we can still be friends but more likely I think not.  Freddie Mac, until you clean up your act and deal with your skeletons you are destined to keep your own condo company.

Thoughts from a buyer after waiting 30 days for a signed agreement from Freddie Mac that never materialized.
