First there was the guy in a divorce who wanted to Lease to Own. Then we were told he was going to find a way to buy the house. His agent kept calling to see if we had an offer, but she finally admitted that he wasn’t going to be able to buy the house.

The Tesla couple were the ones who were going to quickly sell their house. Their realtor brought in a ‘sure thing’ buyer for their house and they all negotiated over the weekend. Her buyers that she brought in decided they wanted to get estimates for all the work they wanted to do to the house. The agent kept calling us frantically wanting to know if we had an offer. But, then her buyers just dragged their feet on getting estimates and making a full commitment to the house. They were in no hurry. We realized after two weeks that those buyers were slipping away. They couldn’t submit a written offer on our house without a written commitment on their house.

The extended family that loved the house. Parents moving from Houston, currently living in a small apartment in Coronado, to help out their daughter who had a small baby with special needs whose husband had just passed away from leukemia. It was a sad story and I really wanted them to live in the house because it was perfect for extended family with the separated bedrooms. They were the ones that came at 6:30am and backed out because of airplane noise.

These were the offers I was expecting around Dec 16th.

Then there were the empty nesters who had an offer in for a property in Rancho Santa Fe who had found a lot of issues in the inspection. Evidently they were able to negotiate a lower price with their seller so they stayed in that escrow.

Then there was an Italian couple with a toddler who came for 2 showings and finally backed out because it was a bad foggy day and there was airplane noise.

Then there were the two agents who madly brought in clients after we went pending. They both said they wanted to submit backup offers, but they never came in.
