SINKING SHIP

Sometimes real estate makes you think your on a sinking ship....So many things can go wrong with a transaction and you usually don't have control over any of it..grrrrrr.......


I have two deals that were suppose to be closed already....first one is just a $8000 piece of land...Its a cash sale. I have the buyers....after they accepted the offer we were told that it had to be signed off by the court..as it was the daughter selling it and mom is in a home... now after 3 1/2 weeks I am told the brother has to sign off on it.. and that after that they have to get something from another county....and it could be middle of October before we close now... My people have a doublewide mobile home they bought to put on here and its just sitting there.. they live in Tallahasse work her and are driving back and forth everyday till we can get this done....first they were told 10 days then end of the month now maybe 3 more weeks.. grrrrrrrr.....

Next I have a family who was transferred here to Tyndall AFB. we made an offer middle of Aug.. they accepted..its a Va loan...the wife moved her with the kids so they would not have to move once school started and rented a mobile home...she hates it and wants  to move into her home..10 days ago the house flunked the VA inspection...5 ltiile things needed to be done. We were told that they would be done by last wed...so Thurday I called the listing agent...she said she hadnt got someone to do them yet it would be the weekend before they could get to it and it would be finished... monday the VA inspectors go back out... not 1 thing has been done.. not one!!!! and no call form the listing agent nothing... They charge $100 for everytime they have to go out.. so now we paid extra for nothing and will have to pay again... I wrote her and called her no return calls or emails.. so I get all my tools together along with the report and head 30 miles to this house to do it myself....when I get there load and behold two young kids are there doing the work.. now the realtor knows the work has to be done by a licensed contractor....and we have to have an invoice to prove the work has been done.. once again I call her.. ring.. ring.. voicemail... I leave a message.....still no call back...Now my people will have to pay another months rent because no way we can close by Friday....plus they have to pay 200 extra for reinspection which unless re can prove a licensed contract did the work as it involved electrical and ac stuff they probably wont take......HOW DO THEY STAY IN BUSINESS???????? DO THEY NOT WANT TO SELL ANYTHING??? GRRRRRRR
