Don't take a signed contract for granted

So I had a contract signed, great price for my seller and a quick close....Great Job right? Not really!!! This was in January and a couple days after opening escrow a water heater leaked (property was vacant) on the 2 units directly below my sellers. Now what to do? File an insurance claim, send in paperwork, wait, get a few quotes from contractors, wait, wait, check with condo association make sure things are moving forward, wait, wait and more waiting, uncooperative owners in units that were damaged....so I think you get the point.

We have a signed contract but because of circumstance we can not close escrow and by now the buyers have canceled a couple weeks ago.

Today I got an offer 10% lower then our last offer, and construction has still not begun. Sometimes just because you have a signed contract, and a ready willing and able buyer and seller. It doesn't mean you have a done deal.....

A LEARNING EXPERIENCE.....
