Some out of town buyers of mine were scheduled to have their condo in the Edgewater area of Chicago inspected last week, but the seller asked to have the inspection pushed back a week due to some work the gas company was doing. The seller’s attorney requested the change and the buyers agree. I then noticed that the new inspection date was only a few days before the date the buyers would be back in town. I suggested they see if they could push the inspection back a few more days so that they could attend the inspection. They contacted their attorney and requested the change.
Recently on a listing of mine the sellers wanted to push back the close date a few days. Their attorney requested the change and the buyers agreed.
Such changes to a real estate sales contract are doable if you give your attorney enough notice so that he or she can request the change and the other party can respond in time. Of course the other party doesn’t have to agree, but you won’t know unless you ask.
