I’m asking that if you look at a job with a firm price and this issue happens, is the not on them for missing it?

It's right in a downtown area that is desirable and accessible to a growing community.

In his contingency there was no outlined sqft he desired, does this mean there was no meeting of the minds between him and Sellers and make this contract voidable?

Personally I'd like to 1031 them into a property that is in a closer and more desirable area. 

1) Given my portfolio size, how can your firm be helpful?

I am also currently in the negotiation process after receiving a job offer from an engineering firm in NC.

@Caleb CampbellSFR sellers sell when they desire to move or need to sell, so they eventually listen to the market concerning price.

But now that they are at 2-3%, the firms have shifted more of their allocation to other assets, RE being among them, either directly or through Asset Back Securities, because most insurance companies make all their profit from their float, so they have to keep profits up to historical levels.
