You may get an offer you can't refuse immediately, or you may have to go through a long process to do your build to suit.Without knowing the area and the accompanying demographics and growth, regional and national tenants may or may not be a possibility.A "lease/purchase" type of agreement is fraught with hazards; as, some courts have handed down rulings that have harmed sellers entering into such arrangements.

If you're asking, do you have the right to sue them for breach of contract or seek damages for the harm they caused, then my off the cuff response is no.

At that point I received angry text messages from the buyer's agent calling me names and wishing harm on me. 

., 3 of which met all the qualifications I wanted, (3x rent, 680 credit score, minimum 12-months at same work place, 2 solid former landlord recommendations, $1000 security deposit, etc.) and had it leased out within 7 days.To be honest, I probably should have pulled the ad and pushed the price up, but whatever, I'll just remember that for the next unit I open up.

@Jaylyn Heartso,Would it harm your relationship with your agent to contact the listing agent to get a showing?

You can feel free to take the info or ignore it but the fact is there are lots of these operators that offer NO value, harm sellers, and know full well they are acting as agents without licensing, insurance, education, etc.

No harm there.

He will do you more harm then good so you really need for him to cancel your contract.

Just to be nice - we had no desire to harm the buyer for an issue caused by their lender

Want to have: fenced yard, cul-de-sac street, close to certain work place etc.By having this written out and prepared your agent will then be able to narrow down what it is your looking for and show you homes that meet your needs and wants.
