Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts
Offer on a house
On sunday afternoon, I made an offer on a house. The sellers countered with a price that we found to be acceptable (we received an email from the seller forwarded by the seller's agent). Monday morning I sent in a revised offer for their counter price. Apparently, the format in which my agent sent the offer was unreadable by the seller's agent. I resent it. In the time between then (it is now Thursday) I hadn't heard anything, as my agent was out of the country. I received an email today that the sellers accepted another offer. Is this on the up and up? I'm very discouraged and suspicious.

Re: Offer on a house
If you accepted their counter-offer, agreeing to each and every term, then you should be entitled to move forward with the purchase. If you sent them a new offer, with any new or additional terms, then they were free to reject it.
If you are going to engage in the home purchase process, I strongly recommend hiring at attorney. Our office charges a reasonable flat-fee to represent your interests from the initial Offer to Purchase through the Closing.
Don't hesitate to contact my office if you would like to engage the services of a real estate attorney.
