Your offer is no longer attractive!
We viewed the home and went back to the office to look up comparables and write an offer based on current market value. I submitted an informed offer for my clients and waited for a response from the listing agent.
He phoned and told me the sellers had received another offer but they really, really liked my clients offer, it was better than the one in negotiation. He said if anything happened, he would contact me right away.
Several days later, the offer fell off and I received a text message asking if my clients were still interested.
The sellers now wanted full price for their home plus were asking for additional terms to be met by the buyers. Full price meant paying over market value at that point, plus meeting every condition brought by the owners.
So the offer was apparently no longer attractive to the sellers. After approaching my clients with the news, we re-submitted the real estate purchase contract, the offer staying originally as written the first time except for changing the dates.
After all, the offer was no ugly duckling!
