Even if the owner was on the hook for a commission it would either complicate the deal and the owner would look to you to "help" with the resolution now that you are "committed" to the deal or the PM might just drag you into court with the owner to get everyone "on board".

I respect your comments and your advice.I find it slightly harsh in part and do not agree with it entirely, but I will respect your views.The great thing about forums is that we get to share our experiences, good or bad and that experience may in part help others going through something similar.In the comments received, some pointed out that it appears this is something that is happening, sadly enough.It was a shock to me as I had not experienced it.I am certainly entitled to share my experience on the forum.I do not view it as gossip for if you will notice from my post I have refrained from mentioning said listing agent, company and/or property.So again, I do respect your views, but please understand that when you ask me to communicate with said listing agents, my posts show you the lengths I have gone to.I would beg to differ on further outreach if not directed at finding a resolution, to someone that clearly is/was against me viewing the property in the first place based on my gender.What is that going to accomplish? 

I'm curious to know: What issues did it cause for you, and what was the resolution? 

the 1st option was for 3 months. the 2nd option was for another 3 months. then the resolution was a 40 year loan modification. during each option period we did not know what the next step would be.while we got the house fixed, we purchased a home with a great interest rate. my credit score has been steady at 775 all through the years.this kicked started our rental business. the cash flow for the house with the 40 year loan was $1000 a month. we went on to buy two more houses in 2019 with great interest rates.so no it has not effected our credit.

This will likely get very messy, very fast, and have no quick resolution on the back end. 

Either way, find out, get somebody experienced like myself on a three way call with you and the wholesaler, we can either prove the red flag or find a resolution that is safe for both sides.

The image in thread is lower resolution than if you open it stand alone. 

There should be a Resolution stating who has authority to sign and most title companies will require that.

@Simon Shih - Congratulations and that's an excellent start to fulfilling your New Year's resolution in the first month!

Maybe I should have waited a few hours and made my new year's resolution easier to achieve.
