I still have all the junk on my property and no one is responding to my calls or emails.
Buying my first home was a dream come true. I was beyond excited to finally take the plunge and make the investment. But there were a few conditions of the sale that I was unaware of, or I would have walked away from the deal. One of the conditions was that the sellers would remove a ton of junk from the four acre property before I moved in. This junk ranged from old rotted car trailers, to old windows from a remodel, and most notably three large box truck beds/boxes full of trash. The boxes were each between 12 and 18 feet long and around 8 feet tall.
On the day of the final walk through, it became obvious that the sellers had not only failed to remove anything, but had also destroyed a bunch of the junk and spread it around the property. Needless to say, I was not happy and I refused to sign until it was taken care of. The sellers’ agent assured me that he would write up an agreement to have a professional service come and remove everything. He even had someone come to the property and give us a quote. The agent and everyone at the closing table, including the closing attorneys, agreed that he was going to take care of it. With my rate lock about to expire, and not wanting to miss out on the property, I ended up signing and believing that it was taken care of.
Unfortunately, it’s now been a month and nothing has been done. I still have all the junk on my property and no one is responding to my calls or emails. I’m feeling very frustrated and helpless and am not sure what to do next. I’m hoping that the sellers will finally follow through and pay for the removal, but if not I’m not sure what my options are. All I can do is wait and see what happens.
