A colleague is currently trying to purchase a property in NSW. Couple of acres in a regional location. Its been on the market for over a year.
He submitted an offer 4 weeks ago. It took the real estate agent nearly a week to get back to him to tell him the answer was no. Agent apologised for taking so long - she said she thought someone else had already rung him.
Friend puts in another offer ..they negotiate back and forth and finally an offer was accepted about 2 and half weeks ago. Each time friend had to chase the agent for a response until he put a time limit on his offer. Price is about 15k less than advertised. Offer is verbal, nothing has been signed.
Friend has been trying to get a copy of the contract for nearly 3 weeks. Each time my friend (and his solicitor) rings, the RE says the vendors solicitor will send it, however it never arrives.
He rang again today and the agent again said the solicitor will send it...still hasnt been received.
Do you think there is something weird going on or is the RE just incompetent?
