My wife and I just looked at a house last week. We loved the house and went to the bank first thing the next morning to be preapproved. We put an offer on the house and the seller accepted the agreement and signed off on it. The only catch was my wife asked for an old table and chair that was in the kitchen and the seller wanted to keep it. So we still had the house but for some reason another person showed the house and someone else was able to put an offer on the house because we didn't intial the line that said we would accept the house without the chair and table. My wife and I feel like we are being cheated and I am wondering what happened behind close doors that we don't know about. The home was being sold by a different realtor and the buyers were from another realtor as well. So we have 3 realtors in the final meeting to discuss what happened. Here is what I think happened. We were suppose to have the home and for some reason our realtor went behind our backs and the middle lady selliing the house said he could have a cut. So the home went for full value. We offered 3000 dollars under. If anyone has advice on if this is legal or not I would appreciate it. Thanks you for your time. We are seeking to have a real estate lawyer right now?
