Okay, so I guess I should qualify myself here first. I suppose many would consider me to be an old dog. I'm not exactly sure when it happened. It was somewhere in between finding it increasingly more difficult to tie my shoes, and, receiving mail solicitations from AARP. Or maybe it was when my youngest son asked me if we had TV when I was a boy?

Either way, I am the first to admit that I'm no Spring Chicken, or, at least, a Chicken with no Spring (You get the picture). Although, I am taking Ballroom Dancing lessons with my wife, so that's gotta count for something, right?

I recently entered into a real estate Time Warp where I encountered an Old Dog who refused to learn new tricks and had no concept of time. To read more about my adventure, visit SoundBiteBlog.

Sad, sad, sad.

The agent doesn't have e-mail or a computer because he doesn't have the money to buy them because he doesn't sell any real estate. 

Which is always why we need to keep looking while negotiating a submitted offer. 

Back up contracts???   How about some back up offers???  I do them all the time.

Rich, the spring has gone out of my chicken, in fact if I was to spring I probably would break something.  Rich, this Realtor probably remembers the good old days before the automobile or telei-phone.

He might have a legitimate excuse because the Sellers are elderly, but it sounds like the problem is more with him than with them.

Lenn, a most astute observation! It will be a miracle if the house ever sells!

George - yes, your Spring may be Sprung, but your mind is ever sharp! And you're exactly right, the problem doesn't lie with the Seller, as much as it does with the Agent!

Allison - am I in the Dog-house now?

Shari - yeah, it's been very upsetting. You work so hard to find just the right house for your clients, and someone just totally destroys the deal!

Do we comment on both posts - my fingers are getting tired of double commenting.......j/k

I'll be there myself very soon! (I hope)

It's a buyer's market people - you cannot hold on to these offers!  Sellers need to be willing to jump at little or no advance notice.
