Don’t let the Blastards get you down.

Don’t let the Blastards get you down.

 

A refusal to allow early occupancy, turned into an endless, streaming rant on the other side. Sad that someone would feel entitled to throw a tantrum simply because they were told NO. 

 

Too many things can go wrong and the liability lies on the homeowner's shoulders for any number of situations, such as: 

  • fire
  • accidental falls 
  • evicting occupants if loan goes south
  • theft of personal items once they move in
  • property damage due to negligence, etc. 

 

Nowhere in the contract does it say that a homeowner is required to open their doors to EO before the transaction closes and records. Protect the client’s best interests by discouraging early occupancy.

 

People with narcissistic tendencies will boast about themselves, attacking the credibility and knowledge of any opponent. They blatantly cross the boundaries of professionalism, making it personal.

  

The best advice I can give, is to avoid engaging.

 

Everything in writing ensures that everyone is on board, rather than high spirited conversations and idle threats that go nowhere. They are a form of bullying and strong arming, used to intimidate. 

  

Some real estate transactions get tedious at best and the greatest advice I can give, once again, is to always stay to the professional side. Don’t let the blastards get you down!

Sounds dreadful. I'm so fortunate to have avoided these blastards of late. Clean living on my part? Naw, doubt it. Lol. Not sure why I've been so lucky. Sorry you had this experience, but your method of handling it is perfect.

I don't get why people think they have the right to move in to a place they don't own yet.  Avoid those folks at all costs. Happy Saturday

Pre=possesion and post-posession are just booby traps waiting for you to step into them. "Just say no."

Hi Wanda

It's a tough issue for sure, especially if the buyers are pleading their cae since they already closed on their house or had to move for some reason and have no place to go. But the risks are huge to let buyers move in, or even move stuff in, before closing.

It took me a minute to figure it out and once I refused to speak to the other party after the scathing phone call, things went smoother from there Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD. I recommended texting and emailing!

Their urgency was not my clients concern. There are plenty of short-term storage units for belongings and/or motels/hotels in the area Sharon Lee!

After explaining all the things that can go wrong and have in the past, it was a clear choice for my client Jeff Dowler, CRS, though the other side did not like it one bit!

Morning Wanda.

Sad to say it is just a sign of the times.  When people don't get what they want immediately they sometimes throw a tantrum.

Those who yell the loudest get attention but may not always get their way James Dray. This was not the buyers BTW...it was their agent!

Hello Wanda, I think people just don't think past "what can possibly go wrong?" 

Mostly EO is probably a matter of convenience to people...(IMO), but to throw a petty tantrum?? Even worse that it's an agent!!
