Encourage her to take her decision, whether yes or no, without influencing her with your yes or a no. Because ultimately she is the one who, in case she buys, has to stay strong and deal with anything that arises in future which has any coincidence/resemblance to what happened to the previous owner. Sometimes mind can get real tricky and it takes no time to find someone to blame esp. When money is involved. Peaceful life in a remote place is better than an anxious one in Bay area.
A good choice of a phrase. Make-a-killing... Perhaps somebody else did that already, to have that victim haunt the house, and cause all this anxiety.
She isn't taking that house, clearly conveyed her hubby. Also her husband's parents said not go ahead. Thank you one and all. Really appreciate it.
Ooohhh! OP, can we now get the back story on the hole? Did they get to know what happened? Curious minds want to know.
I hv heard disgruntled brokers when refused by owners from approaching, they spread disinformation that resulted in last minute cancellations of lucrative deals. Thanks and regards.
In India in Tamil nadu in Chennai it is normal. If a bad thing fatal happened within a building neighbourhood is aware but some jealous neighbours can go against wishes of the owner if the deal is with a person other than his or her own. A brahmin may not like a muslim neighbour, a vegetarian family dislike non veg neighbour. Here it is not Atlanta or USA. THANKS & REGARDS.
This is true of marriages (girl on market, but deals do not "close") where the girl has an "understanding" with a gruntled boyfriend (from employ or college), and they could conspire to cast aspersions on the family and ruin any arrangements that come. If there had been a homicide on the premises, one could easily see publicly available police records. No need for brokers to create stories. I wonder what would be price discount for death by aging -- with bp, diabetes, cardiac arrest -- probably no discount death by home accident inside the house death by home accident outside the house death by suicide (inside/outside/method) death by murder (inside/outside/method) time lapse before the discovery of the victim (% discount/day) Indeed !! #metoo Inspector Ghote Gets a Discount could be the title of that real estate deal.
