The HooK has a great article today … but airing contractual disputes in public? Bad form.
“The buyers, after entering into a contract, decided they didn’t like the interest rate,” says King. “They blew it off. It was in the contract… I believe when you enter a contract and don’t lock it in, that’s on you. For them to bail like that so close to closing is just wrong.”
