Albany, OR asked in Contracts for Oregon

Q: Seller signed accepted offer but did not sign included addendum.

Buyer submitted purchase agreement and attached septic addendum (stating seller pays for pumping, buyer pays for inspection). Offer to purchase references that this addendum is attached. Seller accepts and signs purchase agreement, Seller agent sends to me, buyer's agent, seller signed purchase agreement but not the addendum. I request the signed addendum three times but seller agent does not send to me. Now agent is saying the seller will not pay for the pumping. Since seller accepted offer, did they not agree to addendum even though addendum not signed.

A: You are not going to get this type of legal advice on an anonymous post on the internet. Hopefully you are a licensed realtor because you should not be acting as the "buyer's agent" unless you have a real estate license and malpractice insurance. If you want a licensed and insured Attorney to help you with this, then contact an attorney who specializes in real estate and make an appointment where the Attorney can review the relevant documents, get all the information in the case, and maybe call the seller for you.
