It’s one of the most common conversations we have with sellers. An offer comes in early, sometimes within the first few days of listing, and the seller wants to wait.

We’ve watched deals fall apart at every stage imaginable. Right after the inspection. During the appraisal. The day before closing. And yes, occasionally at the actual closing table.
