Update: So our REALTOR called us back tonight and as we suspected, the news was negative. After stringing us along with the idea that a deal with the Devil was imminent pending a couple formalities with his bank (The National Bank of Hades of course), the ever-so-professional selling agent responded to our REALTOR through e-mail saying they'd like full asking price and no closing. Time Burglars!!! While this still falls under our budget, we really can't envision ourselves going into the closing meeting without scowling the whole time and that's just not how buying a first home should feel. Plus, after being treated so unprofessionally throughout this whole process, we don't feel like rewarding the selling agent. We absolutely love the house, and maybe we'll have a change of heart after we recover from the anger of being kicked in the teeth, but as of right now we are back to touring open houses.
Did we mention that the selling agent is in the process of taking real estate classes right now? We never would have guessed! She better get her learn on quickly. We'd hate to know what happens to someone who costs Satan a good deal. Wonder how they would take it if we now submitted a counter offer consisting of a loaf of bread and a firm handshake?
