The seller called while I was on vacation. First real vacation in two years, sitting on a beach in Florida, and my phone rings and it's her saying she changed her mind about the price. We're under contract. We've been under contract for three weeks. The buyers already did their inspection, already paid for the appraisal, and she wants to raise the price by 40 thousand dollars because her neighbor told her she was leaving money on the table. Her neighbor. Who sells insurance. And when I tried to explain that we have a legally binding contract, that she signed, that I watched her sign, she told me I was being negative and that contracts get broken all the time. Which, I mean, yes, but not because someone's neighbor said something at a barbecue. Then she started crying. Full crying. Saying she couldn't sleep, she was having second thoughts about the whole thing, maybe she shouldn't move at all, maybe this was a sign. A sign of what? A sign that you talked to someone who doesn't know what they're talking about? The buyers are a young couple, first home, they've been looking for eight months. They love this house. They wrote a letter about how they could see raising their kids there. She hung up on me mid-sentence. Called back an hour later acting like nothing happened, asking when closing was again. I'm still on this beach. The drink is warm now. My wife is giving me a look.
