House was listed by Lynn Cain Cooper for
$179,000. We submitted an offer for the residence and a counter was
given. Mrs. Lynn Cain Cooper text messaged my realtor to let him know
that she had listed the property with incorrect square footage and
that the owner would not be moving far from their asking about. My
realtor asked for a copy of that survey with the new area at that
point. We still replied to their counter Saturday(2/06) morning at
9:36 am over the phone to AGREE to the counter, even without the
survey.
3 hours later Mrs. Lynn Cain Cooper text messaged my realtor
to withdraw the counter and that there was another offer, then to
bring our best offer forward. My realtor called his broker, who in
turn called Lynn's broker(her father, Hubert Cain). He said the counter was
void because of the text and that we needed to sent another offer. The original counter
was signed by us and sent at 1:45 when we had till 5:00 to respond.
NO written cancellation was ever
sent by the realtor signed by the seller. Not agreeing that this is
fair, but can not do anything else, we send another offer. Hubert
Cain then calls my realtor's broker to ask for an extension till
Monday. My realtor calls Mr. Hubert Cain to state that we would give
24 hours, but till Monday shouldn't be needed. Mr. Hubert Cain then
stated the HE needed till Monday to get things straight and also
admitted that there WAS a verbal agreement to the original counter
presented by the sellers and their realtor(Mrs. Lynn Cain Cooper).
