So I realize that in WA ppl don't use attorneys to review contracts, etc, but we're out of state and selling this lot and need someone on our side so as not to make any more novice mistakes.
Buyer's realtor sent us a contract, but it's asking a lot. It's for a builder but he's completing four houses and won't have cash for six months. He's willing to put down non refundable 10k (lot is 200k) but there's been a lot of interest esp from the adjoining neighbor. I think I read somewhere that a seller can word a contract so another (higher) offer can be accepted, even if place is in contract.
Or is that nonsense? Obviously a novice but don't really want to lock up the property for 6 months. It's been a pain to sell bcs it's a small lot and needs an expert to design septic/drainfield so really it's best for a builder or someone who knows about building. So selling to this builder may be best. He's getting a good deal tho as he knows we're tired of dealing with this property. For whatever reason, suddenly there's a lot of interest in the property and we might even be able to break even instead of selling at a loss.
Would appreciate an attorney recommendation ASAP to review this contract. Also I know title companies do closings, so this is for writing up a contract that's in our best interest.
Have a great evening, all! 😀
