I'm curious why no one is placing a issue with the tenant agreement ? Seems like everyone but the tenant has done as agreed. maybe Im wrong, but the agreement would be between the tenant and the landlord unless the Broker is mgmt too. Different regions I guess. Just seems like the tenaent back out of the deal.

Make the agent do it nicely. You've got to sign the offer, correct?

Sign it, Thank you,  your Signature

Good luck

Any compensation would be from the tenant. They are the non-performing party. Everyone else has done their part.I believe the tenant would be responsible.

 It can depend on your market. If you may lose the property due to another buyer quickly, if your market is really going well or the price is affordable, new to the market ect...you may need to decide your price and take it when its suitable. If the property has been sitting awhile (your agent should be able to tell you, make sure you have your own agent) and no other offers in awhile, or at all, taking your time can be great. My attitude has usually been this - "Im willing to spend this much" if not, ok, thank you for your time & if you change your mind call me, again, thank you. Then I'll follow it and maybe re-offer the same amount later. 

By quick to and fro it Sounds like they really want to sell making quick counters. So maybe back off a little too, if you feel like you wont lose the deal.

 PS, I always am polite on my offers, sometimes impersonal offers make people feel like they're dealing with a institution vs a human, If they feel like they're being bullied they may stand firm. "Thank you for your offer, etc..." I believe offer/negotiations don't have to be a violent transaction, unless it is an institution.

Terms? Is it a 2/3 year ballon?

Are they buying something else and need a specific amount for that?

Do they owe on the property still? Maybe their current mortgage dictates their price, however, If they have a mortgage still id be cautious and need to know how and when it will be paid off, I cant see doing any kind of lease/purchase when a bank still had a note unless I had a solid written agreement with the bank.
