Elizabeth, This is a hit with me. I hear..”My buyer won’t..” or my seller won’t…” on nearly every sale. Some are sincere, most are not. In many cases the agent would not have any idea what the client is thinking. There would be no reason to have had that discussion especially when it is specific to the finances of the opposing party. Thanks for the great post!
