It will be interesting to see how this works out. I'd also be afraid he molested the property.
I talked to a guy at Pinedale Wyoming that was selling some land to a lawyer that tried to screw him in the deal. The lawyer had paid some money on it, and then tried to retain the land without paying it off. He lost his money and the land both.

women get goofy like that.... shes just showin her power over everyone.... shell sign

Drive down that road and check out the property you're buying. It's a public road and if he raises a stink flip him the bird. The way you described the road, its perfectly legal for you to drive down there as often as you want. Who cares what his uptight wife thinks. If she's upset about people driving down the road, tell her to pound sand. I wouldn't buy a property I couldn't inspect, and that would've been a deal breaker from the start for me.

That was my first thought too but hopefully he is just coddling his wife a bit. If he doesn't show up on Monday.................well..........your wife is a lawyer

Don't take counsel of your fears until it is neccessary

^ Wow! Where would that advise get ya?? That is not good advise IMO and would take one day at a time and I would take the high road, for your best results.

Drone fly over check timber etc. Find someone that can do it. DTA Dont trust anybody

Who does the title company's attorney represent?

I might recommend considering short term vs. long term situation. Would losing thousands short term be of benefit vs. losing ??? long term.
Only you have those pros and cons.

I never buy what I can't fully inspect because there's ALWAYS a story behind the story of "why" you can't inspect it and that story is ALWAYS in the seller's favor.

Best of luck.

I live 6 blocks from where the land is. I onx mapped it and google. The owner took me on a utv tour and showed me the 4 corners surveyed. Took about 10 mins. I drove my wife out there in rain same day in jeep. We stayed on main road. Looked maybe 5 mins. The land was perfect 100 acres of mature tree and two ponds and food plots. That was the last time, I was allowed on it. I know its not been logged or molested. Its been in his family since 1920.

I dont think the title company should of let us close if they were not there. I think his wife is a drama queen and is causing an issue. If need be we will sue them. I just never had anyone back out and not show to closing. He was getting $325,000 free and clear.

Is the still considered personal property, or does it go with the real estate?

My worrying pessimistic feeling is that something is not 100%. First thought was logged but I guess that is out. My other thought is current/old trash/junk dump somewhere they don't want to clean up or take less money for. Other than that I can't really think of anything else. I would still like to at least take a really quick 1 hour hike of the place. Other than that I say wait until Monday. If they change their mind I think you have no other choice but to force the sale as it sounds like you are in for a huge loss otherwise.

Keep us posted..good luck..when people don't show up to close??that would make me nervous for sure..good luck

Two years ago I was buying 11 acres in Idaho. Paid $450 for the appraisal. The day of the closing they called and said he can't find his ex-wife to sign the papers, deal was off. I was out the $450. Nine months later I see it is back on the market. No one bothered to call me. I call the realtor, offered them the same deal as before plus this time I wanted a couple of old trailers removed or the titles supplied. They did not accept my offer. Huge blessing in the end. I found a much nicer piece of property, 20 acres, for just a little bit more. I hope it works out for you and he shows up on Monday.

On all of the land deals I have been involved in. I always had a contract signed before any legal action was taken. If this is the case and he does not sign Monday I would sue his ( you know what) and I would own the property.

I've been through a no show as a seller and it sucks !
Never again, first time was their fault. Next time there will be enough $ in escrow that they will be there. Big time investor my butt !
Also been through it as a buyer. Possession on close, sitting in the driveway with a load of furniture and it didn't close because they were trying to sell me property they didn't own. Lucky the bank caught it. 90 days later to close.
Felt like an idiot because I had told the guy I was renting from to shove it, as I had bought my own place.! ??

How do you sue someone for breach of contract if they havent signed the contract?

There should have been a purchase agreement signed before any legal documents where prepared. Most lenders require one.

Was earnest money put down? As I remember, some paperwork is signed to guarantee the sale and that is what the earnest money guarantees. Good Luck. Refusing to allow buyer to see the property would have been a red flag for me! Any appraisal done?

Contract signed by all then Appraisal done, All title work done. Loan done. Everything was done right just a no show at the signing due to a tick bite????

Sounded like to many were ready for a hanging for something to do.

I have bought two different bare land purchases and the selling party was nevah at the signing. In fact one large piece of land I bought nevah ever seen the other party and signing was done through counsel. Money was sent electronically and all legal matters, recording of docs all done from an office chair. No one meet to sign in person.
