It has happened again. Buyers can be told, but for some reason they do not get it. Until we have an endorsed contract, we do not have a deal. Words mean nothing. We had an agreement, the counter was presented, all the buyer had to do was initial the changes. But by keeping the contract, and not returning it, she allowed the seller to have another contract submitted, and accepted, underneath her. "But the contract says I have 48 hours to respond to a counter", she screamed.
No. What the Florida contract says is that the contract counter offer will expire on its own after 48 hours. If you do not accept the counter, the home is still for sale. If you want it, buy it. Talking about it does not make it yours.
Yes, it is a buyers market. Unfortunately for this buyer, someone else is buying "her" home.
