I thought it was a done deal. Handshake offer. Continued messages for about a week. Plans to go to the bank to provide docs for his loan. More plans to come by and see the house. Lawyer engaged to draw up contract.
And then, a text message, “My son doesn’t want it.” He has a 16 year old son who evidently wanted to be close to “markets”.
Thankfully, I hadn’t let the handshake offer really change anything. Kept it listed. Kept doing the work I had planned to do. And followed some great BAD advice on getting betters pics, changes to the house, etc.
