We’re being ignored by the seller agent. Help! Is this legal?

Hello. We have been searching for a home for a year and finally found one we love. We placed an offer WELL over listing price with no contingencies other than normal inspection to hopefully ensure that we will get the home.

The sellers agent sent over what was included with the home for us to sign, and seeing as how there were no other offers, we saw this as a sign that they were about to accept our offer.

72 hours have passed, we have had to resubmit the offer again and we have no idea what is happening. When my agent asked about offers, we find out there are none… they will not give us any update on our offer or how long they plan on stringing us out for an answer. I find it incredibly odd that they have no offers and act like our offer is trash and ignore us.

Here’s where it gets sketchy. The realtor used to live in the home and is heavily emotionally attached via his Facebook post. (Yes, I began sleuthing at this point) He had a friend of the family say they are interested. At this point I feel like this home is not available to purchase. It’s like they are ignoring us to keep an offer on the table while trying to figure out if a family friend will buy it? Why even list it then? Really frustrating and more so because we are on a timeline to vacate our current home. Thoughts?

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/
