First Property Found

[Amber K.]

Hello all,

After a number of months scouring local MLS listings and FSBOs, running numbers, and walking through a considerable number of properties, I finally found it. My first property. While considering what amount to offer over dinner, I received a call from my awesome real estate agent that another offer was accepted at 1pm earlier that day. Apparently this property had a cash offer open for a few weeks and the buyer had set an ultimatum to get a response. Cue, my heart breaking.

Should I consider this property gone?  Is it possible that a contingency won't be met?

@Amber K. make your offer anyway as a secondary one then get back to scouting for another deal.  If the deal is lost nothing you can do about it,   But if it falls thru guess what? the seller will remember your offer.  Good luck
