to quote the great John Mcenroe "YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS"

Just when I thought everything was coming up roses, the seller of my latest venture and I quote "has been advised by her attorney not to accept my contact because of an addendum in the short sale contract"

The addendum basically states that the seller will not accept any other offers/contracts within a 60 day period of my contract, making mine the exclusive contract. In which time I can complete my inspections etc. It also means that I can not bid on any other places during those 60days.
As the buyer I think this is cool, as the seller she wants as many offers to choose from as possible. However within the month that her house has been listed I am the only person who has bid on it....go figure.

I have decided to take a week to contemplate whether or not I want to remove the addendum. When purchasing his place, my boyfriend had the same clause in his contact and the sellers were more than willing to wait. I don't think I'll be backing down on this one and if it means I loose the home then it just wasn't meant to be.
