If you make an offer on an home, can you revoke it before it's accepted?

You may revoke your offer so long as the offer has not been accepted yet.  You should give notice of revocation of your offer to the selling party as soon as possible to avoid any further legal obligation.  Revocation in writing - even by email or fax - is better for you.  That way you have proof of date and time of revocation in case any dispute arises.

Unless you are the buyer or the seller, it's really none of your business. If you try to approach potential buyers, and you do not word things in exactly the correct way, you could get sued when they decide not to buy. The buyers will be having a home inspection prior to closing; hopefully they've selected a good home inspector who will catch these things. But you should stay out of it unless you have a financial interest in the sale of the home, or unless you like getting sued.

Don't "blink". \n\nWhat you do next depends on whether you used a realtor or not.  \nIf you did, find a house online that's similar to what you want, and call your realtor and ask him/her to show it to you, as if you are presuming that offer is dead.  Let them bring it up if it isn't. \n\nIf you didn't use a realtor, start shopping again, and when five days has expired, send the seller a letter retracting your offer, nothing more.  \n\nIn any event, in ALL FUTURE OFFERS, you should make them expire in a set time. 2 days is good, unless you make the offer on a Friday, give them until Monday since they may be unavailable on weekends, or longer if the realtor informs you they aren't easily reached.

If I'm correct, until all contingencies have been taken care of, they can and should entertain other offers.  If your financing falls through, or you find another home you like better, the inspections don't come out like you want, etc.  There are a hundred different reasons why YOU would back out, so he's covering his behind.  It's not unusual at all. \n\nIf all of your things are in order, I wouldn't worry about it  :)\n\nGood luck  :)

You can make an offer pursuant to the sale of your home. If the house your looking at to buy has been up for a while they may accept your offer with the condition that if someone comes along with cash they can forgo your offer. It's worth a try.

If this is realestate related first right of refusal means that you can refuse your first offer accepted to take another better offer

yes you can, discuss it with whatever real estate broker has the listing for your property or hire your own broker to deal with them

If the contract allows you to fire the agent/brokerage and you can prove you did so before the sale of the property, you shouldn't be responsible for the commision.  If the contract outlines what the brokerage/agent will do and you can prove they didn't keep their end of the bargain you may be entitled to be released from the listing contract.  Pursue arbitration with the local Board of Realtors.

Yes you can move, absolutely.  Your lender will NEVER come and knock on your door to make sure you are still living there. You can even have your loan statements sent to an "alternate address." If you want to be completely sure and honest, ask your lender, they won't change the conditions of your loan just because you ask questions.

Not that I am aware of.  But the judge who gives the permission may stipulate that the loan must  close by a set date.  Of all the Ch. 13 buyouts I have done, I have never seen an expiration date. \nhttp://www.lendermark.com

Never offer the full asking price. I would start out offering 10,000 less than they are asking. They'll probably negotiate with you till you come to a happy medium. Happy house buying!

Clean, Clean, Clean like there is no tomorrow!  Make sure at the very least the kitchen and bathrooms are spotless. And ensure that the home doesn't have an odor.  But if I were you I'd cancel the appointment and reschedule.  You will get better offers if your house is clean and tidy.  Otherwise buyers will have the impression you didn't take good care of the property.  And that results in lower offers or no offers.  You should also de clutter and remove any excess personal items so people can imagine what it would be like if this were there home.

First, lets put this in context.  You're blasting an agent that hasn't moved mountains in 3 days?  Unless you're selling a Manhattan high-rise for $1, you should reset your expectations.  It typically takes 60-90 days to sell a home, which can vary greatly depending on your individual situation.  And you set up an open house without your agent's involvement?  In the past 3 days?  Why did you even get an agent if you don't want to work with him?  Read your listing agreement, and although it may include a clause allowing you to cancel the agreement for non-performance, you haven't even given this guy a chance to get started.  Now, if a month goes by, and he still hasn't returned any phone calls, etc. you may still be screwed depending on the agreement you signed.  You need to check the language, and see what provisions exist for termination.  Even then, you may be able to get the agent to drop your listing, then everything should be cool.

Yes. The person on the title can block your attempt to refinance.\n\nYou can wait to sell, but he will have the same veto power over any contract offer as well.

Unfortunately, you don't have any rights until contracts are exchanged. The only things you can do are as follows:\n\n1. When having the offer accepted, insist that the house is taken off the market.\n2. Keep in regular contact with the vendor - this shows them that you're serious.\n3. Always keep on top of things. When the solicitor sends you a form, fill it out straight away etc. Don't wait ages saying "ooh, I'm too busy,"\n4. Keep in contact with the solicitors, and give them a gently nudge from time to time to remind them that you're still there.

Can't speak for Oregon, but in Michigan once you've signed the papers it's a done deal.  If you think the sellers took advantage of you, talk to a lawyer (many lawyers advertise in the Yellow Pages and give free initial consultations).  There may be a chance to get out of the sale, but the lawyer would have to review your closing paperwork, the inspection/appraisal, etc., and would have to show a material omission or misrepresentation on the part of the seller, and that can be tough to prove.

Not if your buyer will accept w/out.
