Which means that if the seller backs out, they'll still be on the hook for the agent's commission; if this house is in CA, it's quite likely that the commission is more than $8500 (the amount of the pest control).I'd have your agent remind the listing agent that their client will be on the hook for the buyer's agent commission, plus also may face other action from you.

i looked at a house yesterday where the walls were bare, but you could still see where ALL pictures/frames were hanging. in fact, you could see the string that was holding the frame clearly.in fact, you could read the words that were written on the back of the frame. not sure what the hell was going on, but it was funny as hell.

Congrats on completing your first deal and overcoming all of the obstacles you faced.

The biggest problem I faced after that was that I had no idea what kind of business I wanted to get in to.
