House was listed by Lynn Cain Cooper for$179,000. We submitted an offer for the residence and a counter wasgiven. Mrs. Lynn Cain Cooper text messaged my realtor to let him knowthat she had listed the property with incorrect square footage andthat the owner would not be moving far from their asking about. Myrealtor asked for a copy of that survey with the new area at thatpoint. We still replied to their counter Saturday (2/06) morning at9:36 am over the phone to AGREE to the counter, even without thesurvey.
3 hours later Mrs. Lynn Cain Cooper text messaged my realtorto withdraw the counter and that there was another offer, then tobring our best offer forward. My realtor called his broker, who inturn called Lynn's broker (her father, Hubert Cain). He said the counter wasvoid because of the text and that we needed to sent another offer. The original counterwas signed by us and sent at 1:45 when we had till 5:00 to respond.
NO written cancellation was eversent by the realtor signed by the seller. Not agreeing that this isfair, but can not do anything else, we send another offer. HubertCain then calls my realtor's broker to ask for an extension tillMonday. My realtor calls Mr. Hubert Cain to state that we would give24 hours, but till Monday shouldn't be needed. Mr. Hubert Cain thenstated the HE needed till Monday to get things straight and alsoadmitted that there WAS a verbal agreement to the original counterpresented by the sellers and their realtor (Mrs. Lynn Cain Cooper).
Monday (2/08) Lynn Cain Cooper calls my realtor to state that she nowwants to present the second offer we submitted to the sellers, butwants us to sign a waiver acknowledging the first counter was void. This sounds like she is now trying to cover herself of the unethicalwrong doing of the first offer. And all of this over a house we trulywanted and would have paid more for, but never knew what the ownerwanted from us because of the realtor. They denied our second offer infear that we would sue.
