May. 11, 2006 - CHANGED MY MIND

Changing your mind in a Real Estate Transaction should FIRST be shared ONLY with the real estate agent who represents YOU and not the seller or the seller's agent.  There are many ways for your agent to create a happy ending wherein you do not lose your Earnest Money. Clearly, Timing is EVERYTHING, when it comes to extricating yourself from a real estate contract.  Talk it over with your agent as soon as you feel you may not want to proceed with the transaction.
