You really didn’t say that, did you?
This past December I helped my son in looking for a home. While I usually do not like to work with family or friends what can I say, it happens.
He had found a home (new construction) that we made an offer on. He drove by it daily and nothing was being done. Then his lender got involved after the initial inspection. She sent an email to the other agent advising him they would not release the funds until certain things were done. That prompted a call from the listing agent.
While I’m not an angel the language he used I haven’t heard after retiring from law enforcement. As he was spouting off words that would ban me from this sight, I just listened. Once he was through I phoned my son. He told me to write a termination of contract which I was in the process of doing when the other agent called back. He apologized, but it was too late. Back in the day those words would have caused a violent reaction. I was very happy I’ve learned not to react immediately to such verbal abuse.
To those who read this remember once you open your mouth in anger those words cannot be taken back. Take time to calm down, access the situation and if necessary make that call. We did find another home in a nicer neighborhood and closed the deal.
