Yeah- if you have all that then you just got an oddball buyer.  Not super oddball, but I'd bet less than 20% respond like that.  Maybe next time have the agent show them the report and warranty before you actually get under contract so if they are of a mind to bail they would bail then?  I don't know- I bet it's not an issue again...

The buyer's agent should have educated his clients about the likelihood of foundation issues in that neighborhood.   The buyer's agent did a lousy job and as a result, a lot of time was wasted.  Don't be discouraged.

Have you reviewed your agent's MLS listing?  Does it emphasize that repairs are done and a lifetime warranty is included?   It should.  My MLS allows for "confidential remarks" that are only seen by other agents, not by the general public.  That information needs to be in there, so agents with nervous clients can handle it beforehand.

This man right here, he knows his trade.  Lots of people think agents are worthless.  Lots of agents might be worthless. Someone that knows their business is valuable in a lot of situations.

Fucking CA real estate, y'all. 

 

https://www.redfin.com/CA/Carlsbad/2860-Hope-Ave-92008/home/3643056

 

Desirable beach area.  1.5 million for 900 square feet sounds like a lot of money though, right?

Here's the fine print on the listing; shit redfin doesn't tell you.

Sellers wish to sell AS-IS.  Kitchen and Bath have been demo'd out. The electrical and gas meters are removed.  The garage was previously converted to ADU without permits. 

My buyer calls me, excited about this property that she saw on redfin, and I've gotta be the asshole that punches her in the cunt over a deal that she was excited about.  I try to mitigate as best as I can with "that's why I didn't send you this listing" but that only goes so far.  She's got a bad taste in her mouth today and she's associating it with me.

Yeah, my agent said she tried to explain it to their agent but I am guessing their agent sucks at “educating” his clients.  My realtor told their realtor that her own home (she lives in my neighborhood) has 200 piers and is only 3 years old and that my home only had 17 piers and the structural engineer fully backed the work saying the home is totally sound.  She also sent their realtor a conversation from our neighborhood Facebook page that flukishly occurred on Tuesday with people asking about foundation issues and how the builders warranty it.  The first comment was a guy saying, “we have 3 types of homes in this neighborhood, those with foundation issues, those that are going to have foundation issues, or those that had foundation issues and were fixed.  Their realtor didn’t seem to care apparently.  One interesting thing in this whole deal is another home went on the market in my neighborhood Monday and was priced super cheap.  My realtor said these people are going to look at that one also.  I found out that the home was not really lived in and during the big TX Freeze last year the pipes broke and flooded the home and water sat forever since nobody lived in it.  Some people that know that home said its a gut job when you look closely but the pictures on line made it look really nice so I hope these fuckers buy that home and then have tons of repair issues.  I know, I am bitter.

There is absolutely no reason to get emotional about this.  It's an arm's-length  business transaction.  You are offering a home for sale at price X.  They declined to purchase your home.  Maybe your home is with X, maybe it isn't.  If it is, another buyer will come along. .  Maybe they were correct, maybe they made a mistake.   If you think there's only one buyer for your house, you've got a problem. 

[Gil Bang 26250]

was your foundation work done with building permits?  

If so, perhaps you can pull permit records showing the number of homes in your neighborhood that have done foundation work.   Inform future buyers that it's par for the course

I mean, you act like there is ever a situation where getting spiteful and petty with someone that irritated you is a bad thing and I'd say- how new are you to Surly. I think it's fine for him to wish they buy the other home and get hit with a jillion in repair bills after they wasted his time.  It seems fair and reasonable.

I just took another look at this OP.

This is more on the real estate side since I put my house on the market Friday.  Had an offer at list by Sunday but they backed out because 6 years ago we had 17 piers put in the front of our house for some foundation repair

Here's what the timeline sounds like, based on his post;

1) Buyer looked at house

2) Buyer made full-price offer

3) Seller/seller's agent disclose foundation issues

4) Buyer's nopes the fuck out.

 

If that's the way it happened, it's the OP that wasted the buyer's time, not the other way around. The buyer should have been informed of the foundation issue before looking at the house, and certainly before the offer was written.

At the very least, the seller should have copies of the engineer's report and the warranty (and any other relevant information) sitting on the fucking kitchen table with a note that says "Buyer, please take one".

Texas law requires the Seller's Disclosure to be attached to an offer.  It's not universal, but most realtors post that and associated documents online for the buyer/buyer's agent to get before making an offer.

And yeah if you check the foundation box on the SDN, you had best disclose the foundation repair paperwork.

So, yeah it's a good practice and also legally required.  Buyers were dopey.

Seller's disclosure, attached to buyer's offer? 

So, buyer made an offer, seller accepted offer, and, when returning signed offer, attached foundation disclosure.   Upon receipt of accepted offer (and disclosure), buyer noped the fuck out.

Show me where my math is wrong.

[Beantown Express 2.0 6598]

No official offer was ever made that I am aware of.  My realtor said their realtor was sending an offer and wanted the sellers disclosure which we gave them along with the pier information, warranty and structural engineer documentation.  They then decided they don’t want a house that had a foundation issue.  My bigger point is all of north texas housing ends up with settling because the houses are built on clay up here versus say limestone in FL which is much more sturdy.  Whatever.  I had two more showings today and one is apparently interested because they are asking us for weird stuff like who is the internet and cable with in your home, a copy of the original floor plans/blueprints, what were our monthly bills for electric, gas, water, etc…Maybe that’s a good sign or maybe not.  I can only hope at this point.  I am also a little perturbed because one of our friends in the neighborhood just let us know they are buying a house on the lake and my wife asked when their home would be going on the market and they said their neighbor who is a realtor asked if they could bring a player by from FC Dallas to look at their home.  He walked in and said he will gut the place so no need to fix it up so they sold it without putting it on the market.  Now I am bitter at them also!

You said upthread "had an offer at list by Sunday...". In fact, you DID NOT have an offer.  What you had was...you had your agent blowing sunshine up your asshole telling you that a full-price offer was coming your way.  

Get your shit straight.  An offer will be in writing. If your agent isn't a moron, he/she won't present to you unless it comes with a bank statement and a DU pre-approval from somebody like @Wulaw Horn or @UTPhil2006 or another reputable lender.  Some motherfucker "threatening" to write an offer is NOT A MOTHERFUCKING OFFER.   Tell your shitty agent to stop tickling your balls, and you...you need to stop being a drama queen and acting like your prom date didn't pick you up and left you standing in the foyer in your pretty gown. 

And the rest of the post is just dumb.  Your internet and cable provider is googleable, and your electric and water bills have nothing to do with what the next motherfucker's water and electric bills will be. 

Some asshole asks me how much my seller's water bill is, I tell him the number, but I also tell him I can't guarantee what his will be until I watch his wife shower.

Echoing @Gil Bang, sounds like your realtor isn't great with managing expectations.  Are they new to the industry or did you pick them because they are related to you?

Not a relative but she is new.  Got stuck with her because I was using the agency that does all the sales in my neighborhood and had the listing on the house I just purchased and the head of the agency put her with us.  The head of the agency is supposed to be “helping” her but I guess she is not doing a good job with that.

Yep as evidence that the buyer/offeror has seen it. In Texas the offer is an integrated contract that only requires the seller's signature as acceptance of the contract. 

 

Well, apparently utphil is correct, but Texas law does require the SDN be provided to the buyer and it seems smart not to accept an offer without it attached and acknowledged by the buyer.

[Neonmoon 38130]

I had a client purchasing a double wide without a realtor (she wouldn’t accept one as seller told her it would ruin deal). She texted me anywhere from 5 to 25 times a day. I had to act as a realtor, schedule a engineer certification and septic inspection. I paid for the latter. And she still got mad at me at closing because she thought the loan was 3K less even though every single document she ever signed showed the higher number. 

We are all dealing with some shit in this market

I’m going to pile on here. Your agent made a grave mistake in my opinion (I’m an agent).

By not making the seller’s disclosure available in the MLS and in the house during the visit, they set in motion the scenario that occurred.

Now you’ve wasted time that could/should have gone towards getting that quick offer from someone who would/could close. Now your house looks like damaged goods. “Why isn’t it under contract?” say buyers now looking at the house. “well since its been in the market for awhile, let’s put in a low offer.”  Perception is huge. It’s going to cost you money.

While I agree that not having the SDN in MLS (if that's what happened), along with all relevant foundation and repair docs and warranties is a  mistake, no one will ever know about the "non-offer."

That's really deal and lender specific man, it's hard to say. I just priced one for you for the heck of it and it came back as little as 1/4 of a point on the spread.  Earlier this year I gave someone on Surly a 4.98 or something like that on a 15 year and the spread was almost a full point vs the 30.  If you want to PM me details I could work out where I think the spread ought to be...
