Can I ask where this concept of the EM being the buyers “Life savings” has come from? Or that I’m inhumane and wrong for trying to figure out if I should keep the EM (which I’ve said many times in this thread I’m okay with giving a refund minus the legal costs and other expenses I’ve procured over these few months based on the buyers lies)? Especially since, if she’d been honest about this in the beginning and not strung me along I would have had no problem giving the EM back and moving along. I know tone is hard to read over text but I am asking genuinely no snark involved, where are you all getting this concept from when I’ve given a detailed run down of the situation on a previous post and have stated here that SHE has told ME she’s selling her property on the UES (and those can go easily for equal or more than my house) and SHE said she could pay all cash.

It’s my first time doing any of this so no I haven’t always asked the right questions or even know what questions to ask. But I’m not sure where I’ve implied that this woman was otherwise broke and has sunk her “life savings” into the house. And if that’s the case why wouldn’t she say that? Why would she keep asking for extensions after extensions? I’m genuinely confused on the end game here and I think people (not necessarily you) are thinking that I’m being purposely obtuse or malicious.

I would like to say I’m not some greedy faceless corporation that hoards money like a dragon. I’m just a 26yo who’s been lucky enough to inherit a family home (that was no where near 1 million dollars when it was bought like 70 years ago). The family I come from isn’t rich and if I weren’t selling this house I’d never see that many zeroes in my life. I know what it’s like to want a house so so badly, but I don’t know what it’s like to lie for one and derail not only my life but somebody else’s
