OMG -- folks sold their home....and troubles have loomed!
The buyer of their home wanted to do a last minute walk-thru. I wasn't concerned....the folks have kept this house in immaculate condition. WELL....the one problem I saw was the realtors had it set up where the folks sign off on old house today and sign for new one today and THEN after they'd signed both places, the buyers for folk's house would sign for the house. The papers won't be recorded with the state until tomorrow -- that gives them until 5:00 tomorrow to move out. I was upset about that, asked the realtor what happens if the sale falls thru and he said "it won't. The people have cash and the money is "set aside" for the sale". WELL...the buyer came by at 1:30 and all hell broke loose. The folks have movers coming in to pack and move them tomorrow. The buyers understanding is that they're to be out by 5:00 TODAY. The contract at the beginning said the folks could pay $100.00 a day till they're out and the final possession would be no later than July 31. Well.....now they say they don't know WHAT the contract said. The buyer is threatening to pull out. My folks have called their realtor and the buyer's called his and they're all meeting at the house. GOOD LORD! Mom keeps saying their realtor is "good -- he was recommended -- he's been in the business for 30 years". Well -- I don't believe it....I lived in Salem for years and never heard of this guy. Keep your fingers crossed. I'd hate like hell for them to have to keep the new house and still have the old one. Meanwhile, mom is so upset I want to get over there tonight and can't!!!
This enforces my recommendation to NOT have a short timeline for moving out after the house sells. It's even too late for the folks to cancel the movers!!!!

Oh Dee,
I'm sorry your folks are running into this mess. Isn't there some provision that will put the realtor on the hook if it all goes wrong. Probalbly not. I hope it all works out fine.

When I run into unreasonable people, I don't respond at all. A two year old temper tantrum is a two year old temper tantrum, no matter how old the person having it is.

When we bought the first house here in Oregon, we were told that the seller legally have 3 days to move out AFTER all the paperwork is signed. For us it wasn't a big deal. Since we were moving stuff from California, the seller told us we could start storing "stuf" in the barn, which we did. The day we signed everything and gave them the down pmt check, they were 99% moved out. The next day we went to the house to say goodbye to them as they were loading up the last box of their stuff. From what the realtor told us, they could have taken upto 72 hours if they wanted to push the matter. Of course I don't know if this is the law, but that's what we were told.
Even the house in CA that we sold, our realtor made sure the buyers knew we would need a few days to move everything once the deal was finalized. Do do it all on the same day, seems a little tight for time.

thanks everyone. I talked to mom a while ago. Apparently the realtors were able to convince the buyer that he's wrong. The realtors did slip past my folks the fact that the folks would have 1 day to move out....and believe me...when I was over there last my son and I read him the riot act. I don't know if it's the law to have 3 days but I've bought and sold many homes in Oregon and NEVER has there been less than 3 days! The realtor apparently in this case has paid the buyer $200.00 to allow the folks to stay longer.
As I said, mom says he's a "great realtor -- he's been in the business for 30 years". Wellllll, I don't believe it. I'll be reporting this situation to the Real Estate Commissioner. Mom won't like it....and I don't care. What they've done by setting the sale up this way and allowing this man to bully the folks has me beyond irritated.
We'll be going over there tomorrow to help out....so I won't be back online for a few days.
Everyone -- Have a nice week and weekend....and thanks for letting me vent.
