My purchase contract (short sale) expired on Sunday and I don't think it was a slip-up.
I told my agent on Thursday that my contract was expiring. She didn't say anything about an extension. On Friday I called and asked her about an extension among other things and she said she would draw one up. On Saturday I asked about it again, she finally sent one for me to sign Saturday afternoon. The seller and their agent are hard to contact (my agent has been working with the seller's agent's assistant), so I asked her if they knew it was expiring. She said they did and they are working hard to get it through. So I thought that I would get a signed extension on Sunday. No word on Sunday. Today, still no word. So I contacted my agent and asked her to find out. What's been on my mind since Saturday is that this isn't accident. First of all, she's my agent. Shouldn't she know that the contract is expiring and ask me if I wanted an extension? Why did she stall on Thursday and Friday to do anything about it? I just wonder if maybe she wanted the contract to expire so that she could either stop working with me, buy the place herself, or get it for another buyer. Am I just being paranoid? And also, an expired contract is game over, right? This could go back on the market right now, couldn't it?
