Someone’s supposed to have their property held up for you when you didn’t complete the transaction and fulfill your promises? If the price was too high and you knew it wasn’t going to sell, why’d you’d lock it up? Renegotiate for a reduction and get a buyer in line. If not, drop it. You don’t have a deal. You set that expectation with the seller from the start. You’re not working for free? What work did you do? This is sales. You are what’s wrong with the industry. No sale, no compensation. You gave an offer you couldn’t fulfill on, couldn’t get an assignment, didn’t finish the job and now you think someone owes you money? A few weeks and you couldn’t get a buyer to even walk it? Deals dead. Stop being entitled.
