hippychic823 - hang in there.   And listen to the universe, God, and your instincts!

The super short version of my house hunting.  

#1 - Listing agent did not follow through with sellers.  Sellers ended up dealing with me direct, then tried to pressure me with "multi-bid" situation, "someone will definitely be awarded the house contract today" stuff.  I walked away.   (That was October 2011, the house is still on the market - now listed at the price I was willing to pay.)

#2 - Sellers got into a tiff with their mortgage company.   Three + months later, I was FINALLY able to get out of that one.  (That was October 2011, ratified contract.  The house is on the market for 15k ABOVE the asking price when I went under contract.)

#3 - Listing agents hard sell for buying distressed property to rent out.  Guaranteed me that I would earn back (rental income) the cost of the property within one year.  Promised!  I asked for a piece of the strategy -- just something in writing, just one peice of the puzzle, not the whole thing -- never heard from them again.

The powers to be were definitely telling me that was not the right time to purchase.   So I sit back in my little space, am thankful for what I have, and move on.
