Hi jk, our loan didn't get approved (our financials were approved, but Fanny Mae didn't like that the HOA of the condo was being sued.) I'm not sure if the initial contract was ever cancelled/terminated (I checked my emails and don't see a docusign with anything like that), but we're way past all the deadline dates on it. If it wasn't cancelled I guess it's good to show that everybody intended to continue with it, but what other implications would it have considering we missed all the deadlines?
The closest I get to any sort of commitment from them is an email from the agent that says: "Here is the fully executed [lease] contract for <address>. This lease is the Buyers and Sellers of <address> while we can figure out the loan on the unit in this complex."
I am keeping everything extremely civil and even friendly with the sellers. As for the parenting, don't even get me started. The daughter gets anything she wants. But the parents are older and the wife gets really anxious. I might be mistaken but I don't think she'd want to go to court over this, so if we let it be known that we won't go easy she might back down. She does tend to run to her lawyer about anything though (eg she wanted to sue the HOA for not being forthcoming about the lawsuit against them), so who knows.
As an additional wrinkle I've fired the agent since she withheld information from us. I'll get another agent but for now we're on our own.
