Possible Zillow buyer scam with 14-day Termination Option

[Raquel Baranow]

I'm not new to Zillow, I've sold many properties there FSBO but this is a new one: Buyer appears to be a land speculator, I docu-signed a contract to sell a vacant lot and thought nothing about them asking for a 14-day termination option. I assumed they would put up the earnest deposit immediately.

They want me to take my listing down and I refused twice. (I changed it to “pending”.)

What do you think they’re up to? Listing price s $23,000, contract for $20,000.
