It’s a seller’s market.

The listing agent and seller did not counter on price and went under contract at the offered price.

For your next step, you might want to look into seller carry arrangements and joint ventures.

They can include foreclosures, short sales, or properties owned by motivated sellers.

Quote from @Guillermo Perez: Does anyone have experience with seller finance?

The seller is offering seller financing at 2% interest with a 9-year balloon.

Then, I would have sought out seller financing from there.

In SubTo, the bigger risk is on the seller.

Lots of sellers will be screwed.

Now when your agent actually does the release then they send it to the listing agent and its is the listing agents responsibility to forward that doc to the sellers we do this all the time via docu sign or hello sign or whatever on line document system the local MLS uses.. somehow you seem to have this backwards..
