Most sellers of their
homes are
fantastic people. Thankful for our helping them with their
situation
and helping them move on with their lives.
However, we have issues when
the house
purchase is not closed yet and we have buyers lined up rent to own
their
home and they try and sell the home around Evergreen Solutions or the
new
buyers try and buy it directly from the sellers.
Most people have ethics and
would not even
consider not honoring their agreement to sell the home. But then
we have the Murphy's home at 911 N. 1500 E, Layton, Tax ID
#11-010-0020.
We agreed August 21, 2004 to buy the home of
Michael Sean Murphy and
Jamie Lyn Murphy and we put our Rent to Own sign in the ground and
we found a buyer for their home, John & Vickie Radl.
The
title was not clean and we had some real mess with liens and judgments
against them. They wanted to just file bankruptcy and skip making
these payments but this home was a subject to purchase and that would
mean
I would then own the house and the debts. This of course was not
going to make this purchase work until they were paid or cleared off
the
title. We spent weeks cleaning it up, finding answers. In
the
mean time the Murphy's and Radl's started to talk about going
directly.
The Murphy's would not close and honor their agreement and the Radl's
would
not even talk and have moved into the house. They even removed my
sign and hide so I could not even find it. I had to wait there
until
I caught John Radl coming out of the house and I asked for my property
back.
I have the signed agreement and
I have
the title work done by Weber Title Company as proof of their
default.
We are filing a notice of interest against both parties.
Another case is people wanting
to come
back months later and get a swing set from the backyard that we had in
the agreement was part of the home sale. Even cemented into the
ground
items are real property. These issues can make friends both
upset.
I then give them 30 days to get it and they didn't then complain to me
60 days later for the swing set. But now we have people buying
the
home who want the set. The old saying all sales final doesn't
always
work.
