She said the realtor told her she "may" make $400 on the deal, but said she was getting no commission.When the buyers learned I only wanted $69,900, they wanted to tear up the contract they signed with the realtor and sign a contract with me directly.I suggested that she call the realtor and explain that there must have been a misunderstanding, but she doesn't want to do this.

You are misunderstanding some paper work.

Did I misunderstand what you wrote earlier?

Thanks for your replies.I spoke with my realtor and there was a misunderstanding as I thought an appraisal contingency means that whatever the appraisal is, is what I need to pay.Thanks again!

It's best to have an agreement in writing to avoid costly misunderstandings.

Not sure if I'm misunderstanding

I'm sorry I really think there is a misunderstanding here.K. was fired the next day I got advice to fire her at this forum.I got all her papers from her - lease, applications, credit reports, you name it.There is no questions about money in regards to rent and deposit - on who got it, when, how much etc., this is all clear and went through the bank.

I might be misunderstanding him so feel free to clear it up for me.

While I sincerely empathize with your situation, it seems that your lack of experience here is creating a misunderstanding of the situation. 

I followed up on a few of the earlier ones and they made me kind of uncomfortable, as they would not subject themselves to any sort of screening processes, wanted to do business outside the platforms, etc.However, I am continuing to get more of these- and i am thinking that maybe just because these people are not native speakers (chinese i believe they mostly are) that maybe I am just misunderstanding them and/or miscomunicating andd it is possible they are legit?
