Feeling a bit disheartened and want to know if anyone else has experience this?
We just sold our first home to what our agent and lawyer told us was a lovely young couple looking to get on the property ladder. Awesome right, anything we can do to help because we know how tough it can be! We allowed them to do multiple building reports at times that were inconvenient to our family, accepted less than 10% deposit and we even agreed to bring the settlement date forward. We were going to use the upcoming long weekend to move but when they asked to bring forward we agreed thinking they wanted to use the long weekend. We don’t work jobs that allow much time off so we packed and cleaned late into the nights to make sure everything was spick and span for the new owners and ensure that they’d love the house as much as we have..
We moved last night.. only for our agent to phone and ask if we would approve the new owners (who don’t actually settle until later this week) to use the photos from the listing to rent the property out!! We feel like we’ve been taken on a bit of a ride considering the stress we’ve been through in the hopes of making everything as convenient as possible for the new owners only to find out they aren’t even moving in!
Has anyone else been in this position? We know there is nothing we can do but our hearts hurt knowing this couple isn’t going to love the home as we did
Thanks
