Elmhurst update

After making an offer, we went back and fourth with the seller, or rather the seller's agent, who is not really a realtor but rather a Chinese immigration lawyer. There was another party interested in this property, but we had the higher offer, and we were more qualified with the bank.

You would think this would make the seller accept our offer........
but in the world of real estate, it apparently doesn't work this way.
The other (lower) offer came from her neighbor, and so we believe she took that one, even though we haven't heard anything back from the realtor for two weeks.

So we are moving on and forgetting about this one for a while.
