What I came up against with was the sellers attorney strongly advising them against this deal.

Call their customer service and advise you have placed coverage elsewhere.

I preceded that question with a disclaimer, advising her that myself and my investment partners are looking for not just good but great deals in the area and if it's at the right price we can offer fast closing since it's a cash offer.

You may be able to register the law suit on title which would prevent her from selling to anyone else (effectively the same thing); your lawyer should be able to advise you on this and as noted earlier, if he can't, find another lawyer.Secondly, if you try to sue her, you will be suing for what is called 'specific performance'.

Is this an advisable move?
