LOL, Not a second wave, just a continuation of the First, you have to have a sustained reduction of the First to have a second. This is more like a tsunami , where the water piles on to of each other to greater hand greater heights.

It's not about offending real estate agents, It's more about the ethical portion of your question. How can you run a business like your web site shows and you not know the difference between what is ethical and what is not ? Would you be OK if people took a short cut thru you to your advertiser or clients on your web page cutting you out ?

You are not correct. A real estate agent represents the Broker in a real estate transaction. The Broker represents the Buyer or Seller in a Buyers Agency Agreement, Listing Agreement or Contracted real estate transaction.  A real estate agent is an Independent Contractor who in most states like Maryland are Licenced Salespeople NOT Realtors. A Realtor is a Salesperson who belongs to the National Board of Realtors

A licencee does not have a fiduciary responsibility to write a contract, The Broker does.

If a licencee refused  to write an offer, the first thing to do, is to contact the Broker and discuss the situation with the Broker. The Broker will probably (if they are smart) assign a different licencee to the Buyer. A lot of times a Broker will be able to fit the right person to help with the Buyer needs.

I've written contracts for Buyers for 20 percent of list price. Sometimes a Buyer has to get rejected a few times before they take advice.

Cold Calling is about numbers and building a pipeline of prospects, organizing them using a database.

I set aside 3 hours a day to do cold calling.Make a minimum of 100 calls a day, use pre recorded messages for voice mail, and a software package that allows me to send SMS Text followup text messages. You can google scripts. Your database will determine when to call. I never stop calling until i reach a minimum of 10 live people a day.

Your database will determine who is motivated or not.

Unless your jurisdiction  requires it, A brief "Landlord has decided not to accept Prospective Tenants Application". Anything else ESPECIALLY a made of list of reasons could open you up to a lawsuit.

@Justin Mayne

I've never understood why people pay an attny for legal advice, then go on a forum and ask random strangers for advice they have already paid for. Crazy huh ? Go with your attny.

Unless you have an agreement stating YOU will pay sub contractors , I would stop with "He then subcontracted the exterior paint" In fact I would file a claim against HIS Bond especially if the work is not 100% complete.

@Nat C. Before you go through the long drawn out and costly process of trying to assign blame, look at your Original Post.

“Seller, as a condition subsequent to closing, shall remove and sever the subject properties from the condominium regime.”

The person that will ultimately end up burdened with the cost of this will the "Seller".

You need to:
. Contact a Real Estate Atty
. Draft a letter giving them a set amount of time to resolve the issue, then sit back and let them spend money resolving the issue. After the time expires then file your lawsuit based on the advice you you new Real Estate Attny.

I am curious though why you did not escrow a large amount from Sellers proceeds from the Sale of the property ? This is standard practice when there are conditions that need to be meet post sale. This encourages the Seller to complete this as soon as possible.
