My two cents. Simultaneous negotiations are tricky. I’ve had situations where a seller ends up running a bidding war between potential buyers going back and forth - that pisses me off. I believe the best course is to negotiate in good faith and sell to the first acceptable solid offer without strings. Communicating whether a sale is a hold or not would have helped in this instance. I do understand that there will be grey areas (as in this case), but the alternative could become a slippery slope. I commend the overall attitude of the folks involved and understand the conflict and disappointment.

Well said, John. My thoughts exactly. I hold no grudge against the seller, buyer or anyone involved. I would chalk it up to an incorrect assumption on my part.
