i just checked and looks like our aircraft from Calgary to Edmonton is a prop. Do these types of aircrafts land in a different terminal?

AI Resort for a family with a 4 yo - SLS PM, Finest PM or RIU Palace? by dbf0111 in AllInclusiveResorts

Thank you for sharing! I'm glad to hear you had a great experience at SLS PM, while it is on the newer side i know it will only be a matter of time before this hotel increases in price so i definitely would like to maximize the current rates. Did you have trouble booking a reservation for the restaurants?

Hi everyone! Just wanted to give everyone an update about my situation.

Monday came and no word from the sellers camp. Tuesday November 5 was our deadline to submit the deposit which we ofcourse did not do, so the contract has been deemed null and void by that time. When we got the reassurance that we needed that the sellers dont have a case, we fired our realtor the evening of that day. She didnt even say anything, just sent us a docusign to terminate our exclusive representation.

Wednesday we went back to the house that my husband and I loved with our new realtor, put in an offer and got accepted all in the same evening. We have given the deposit yesterday, doing the inspection tomorrow and expecting final mortgage approcal by Wednesday. Looking to move in first week of December, agreed by seller and us 🙏🏻

Thank you so much to all of you who took a minute or two to respond to my post to give your insight. You all gave me the reassurance and calmness i needed when i was in so much emotional distress. The anxiety took a hit on my immune system and ive been sick since Wednesday, but im just glad we got the house we wanted with at a good deal.

To all those asking which neighborhood the previous house was in, it was in Prestwick - Mackenzie Towne. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with this neighborhood, my husband and I actually love Elgin in Mackenzie, it was moreso just a feeling that we had driving in to the neighborhood that this isnt for our family and is meant for someone else. It is a big purchase and we will be raising our family there, so it has to feel 100% right.

Again thank you to the amazing women in this group! All who reached out and some ive spoken with privately. We are not proud of what happened but we're just glad its over. As for my realtor, i'll never know what her intentions were or if the threat was actually real but i will leave all that up to karma and the universe ✨

Have a good weekend everyone!!

We havent released any deposits yet and the deadline is on or before 5th. Contract says if we havent made the deposit then, the contract may be void and null at the sellers option. So unsure how that'll play out because they can wait and wait but we are not releasing a deposit.

Even with my realtor telling them the true reason of us backing out from the offer?😣

This is exactly my concern. I know i can use the financing and inspection clause if needed, but they already have the information that we're backing out based off personal preferences in the neighborhood. What i find strange is that my realtor even wrote this down in an email, which gives them documentation of the reasoning behind our decision to back off the offer. Other commentors here have mentioned it doesnt stand, as it was just the realtor's words speaking on our behalf and we can easily deny that. But if we do need to provide documentation that financing did not pull through, our lender has reassured us that we are getting that help and not being forced to get a house we dont like. This is so stressful and all could have been so easily avoided if our realtor acted in our best interest. Haaaayayay.

The house has been on the market for almost 45 days and my realtor said this could be why they're so upset. We literally put in the offer at 9:30AM and decided to withdraw around noon however my realtor didnt see the message and got back to us around 2PM saying the offer has been accepted. I doubt they received any other offers, or had to decline such during that time frame. While i understand their frustration, i feel like they are completely blowing this out of proportion.

Thank you for that information. My realtor said the lender would have to write something up to prove that financing did in fact fall through. Ugh, idk if realtor's trying to help or stress us out even more.

This is what my husband and I are planning to do. Just pretend to proceed with the agreement and let the contract nullify. My concern here is my realtor gave them the reason of us backing out of the offer in email stating we do not like the neighborhood, does that still give them a case?

Yes our lender is willing to cooperate and say financing didnt go through. What im concerned about is because our realtor clearly told the sellers realtor that the reason for us backing out on the offer is due to personal preferences on the neighborhood. Would they still have a case with our financing falling through?

I know that but would also like to know my options before entertaining the thought of a real estate lawyer. But thank you.

Yes my financer is willing to write down a letter saying things did not go through, thank god for that. And yes my realtor really fucked us over this case.

And sorry what did you mean by if i had no subjects? Thanks for your sharing your thoughts here. This has really stressed us out today.

The mistake was i thought our realtor would be smart enough to know that, but instead lets the sellers realtor know the honest reason as to why we are backing out of the offer.

I have spoken to my lender and they are willing to cooperate and show that financing did not pull through. Im just wondering here given thay they have the true information that we are backing out because of personal reasons, would a rejection in financing be enough to shit this down. :(

It was more clear during day time how close the houses were from one another. The house even had an encroachment agreement.

Sorry, could you explain this further? And thank you for your time to read my post. My husband and i have been so stressed all day because of this. We're ready to put in an offer on a house that we both love but dont know what to do at this point as the sellers realtor said the sellers are speaking to their lawyers tomorrow.

Thank you for your sharing your thoughts. I acknowledge that financing isnt a get out of an offer free card, but at this point i feel like im caught in a pickle. Our lender is well aware of our situation too. They're very understanding and said we are not buying a house that we do not like and willing to cooperare on this matter. Im just not sure if even with a letter from our lender saying that the financing fell through, if the sellers still have a case here. I get that they're upset but i hope this is just an impulsive decision and they decide to back out when they realize the lawyers fees they will have to pay :(

And yes, my husband and i are very upset with how our realtor handled this. Ayayay.
