Tammy Lankford, can't say it happens to me in clusters. Based on your examples, here are my thoughts: 1) "All was not lost," is good! Congratulations! 2) Red Flag! Pay attention to the buyer wanting to build on acres. I worked very hard with clients like that several years ago. Then I found out buyers went out on their own directly to a builder; builder promised to build and the builder bought the lots and built a house for my (so called) buyers who did not use me in that transaction. And of course, they terminated the Buyer's Agreement and wanted to wait. Guess what? They ended up with less acreage than what I was looking for, for them. 3) Stubborn is, as Stubborn does.

so sorry you had this problem Tammy Lankford, The only problem I experienced was an out-of-area agent sent me an agreement once it was signed by the sellers she sent a change of terms addendum. I explained that now we were no longer under the agreement and the seller was not excepting the new terms

It seemed to me that the good and the bad seemed to run in clusters. I hope you have a much better upcoming week. A cluster of good that far outweighs this week!

I like working with out of state buyers and sellers so I don't have to deal with them daily. I think our deals go smoother.

I have never forgotten what a Realtor friend in Texas told me when I was first licensed. She said "Real estate is chicken and feathers" and she was so right, her comment has been proven true many times over the years.

I don't remember having a bad RE streak Tammy Lankford, but I can imagine in today's market deals falling apart due to financing.

We have in my area various reasons that a perc test might fail; clay soil or water table too high, or the lot is small and they don't want to build over the tank, and there are a couple of alternative systems that can be used. That wasn't an option for you? I know you're near lakes.
Anyhoo, to answer your question, oh yeah, there are times when everything falls apart, for reasons we could never have imagined or just some kind of cosmic swerve.
But by the same token, there are times when impossible things fall into place one after the other.
So hopefully that will follow your cluster of clusters! 💖

It does seem that the not so pleasant things do come in waves of three Tammy Lankford,
Sorry, that happened. Good attitude, however, move on and hopefully, something much better will come.

My good real estate comes in clusters. I tend to sell in the same towns in clusters. I've sold several homes in the Durham and Chapel Hill areas lately. Sometimes I'll sell several homes in the complete opposite direction. I live in the center of the market so I can get to other towns easily.
I'm sorry you've had these things happen. Hang in there!

Bummer Tammy Lankford, Don't think I've ever had that happen. Very rarely did a contract fall out. Wait.....we did in the crazy days a few years ago. Silly buyers were making silly high offers and then change their minds. But that was no big deal....I'd have another 5 or 10 offers the next day

Thankfully, Tammy, I've not experienced this problem. Hopefully won't need to. And as you said... there's always next week... and you never know... you might have good real estate come in clusters next week.

Hang in there Tammy Lankford, Remember the easy peasy ones that came out of the blue and seemed way too easy. Some deals develop red flags and you are glad they unravel. Blessing in disguise. Bring in the back up buyers.. pivot and tap the numbers, make the calls.

Oh, YES, Tammy! Anyone who has been in the business any length of time at all, has had it happen to them too!
I'm so sorry you're dealing with a run of negatives but, you are a pro at turning things around and I know next week, you'll have done just that! 😘
