Apparently all this is because..

The seller's attorney is a dick.

Word from the seller via the agents' grapevine (both are in the same office) says that the lawyer hasn't responded to the last 3 phone messages that they left him. And he's not responded to my lawyer's faxed letter of last Friday morning.

My lawyer says (and I agree) that I can't proceed on this without some sign on the other end that things are moving, and that the possibility of this not going through is looking larger by the day.

I told my agent to grapevine back that if I don't get anything back by 3:30 I'm cancelling, and I'm NOT rescheduling unless there is real sign that the seller's team is moving forward with the deal.

Also if we don't get a response from the attorney (or word that the sellers have ditched this loser and hired someone else) by 1st thing Monday morning that I'm going to consider this deal a lost cause and move on with my life. My agent says that certainly sounds like a plan.

It would suck, but that's about as long as I'm prepared to wait. Half of my life is in boxes and as of now the seller could say "sorry we told you our closing requirements and you said 'no'. Kthxbye".

Somedays it really suck to be a grownup, but I learned when I bought my house that there is going to be times when you have to just walk away no matter how much you loved the place.

I hope the sellers realize they've hired a dick and can him.
