Buyer Wants to talk to seller...

I'll spare all the fine details, but, the overview info:

  1. Selling agent royally screwed the pooch with the listing, failing to get all appropriate docs over upon acceptance (bank is involved in the sale). Now 75+ days into the transaction and set to contractually close in ~10 days.
  2. Buyer is very sick. Completed their homesale and moved here. Displaced and living in tent for over a month at this point. They are unable to get the treatment they need without a permanent address and are growing desperate.
  3. Buyer has been advised to sue for specific performance if purchase isn't closed on date, but they don't really have the money for a lawyer, either. Every lawyer (and the Realtor legal hotline, themself) said it is "open and shut in the buyers favor for specific performance."

Now, the buyer keeps telling me they are going to go over to the selling brokerage to calmly ask what is going on and how we can close this thing. I have been having to tell them to absolutely not do this nearly daily. Buyer is now asking me to arrange a "meeting between the agents, brokers, and buying/selling parties" to cooly discuss things.
I have tried and tried to explain how this is firstly very unlikely as the selling agent wouldn't want the seller to "spill more beans" and further incriminate themselves, but also how it inevitably will devolve into chaos and make things worse.
My buyer is getting desperate at this point.

Just looking for other thoughts on how to explain to buyer?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
