Hi,
I have found a house that I might like to buy. I spoke with the listing agent and when I told her I was considering making an offer, she said that the seller had received and accepted another offer but the other offer had a contingency of that buyer selling their current home. The seller's acceptance was conditioned on the seller being able to continue to market the property. She said that the other buyer has had their property on the market for about 60 days now.
When I looked at the home a few days ago there was no "sale pending" on top of the for sale sign as is typical around here, and interestingly enough it looks like the current owner might be camping out in the home (airmattress on the floor in the master bedroom and a few shirts in the closet). But I can't recall if the for sale sign was even in the yard. The house is still listed on the realtor's website as "for sale" and not "sale pending" as a few other listings are.
Any comments or guesses out there on whether the agent is trying to snow me or make me hurry up or offer more? Any way to find this out (I have a friend who is a realtor who might be willing to make a call or two for me, but he would also be interested in getting a commission on my sale.)?
