>>You can rationalize it all you want but if you can’t honor an agreement, either verbal or otherwise, you are not a person of honor........sorry.<<
I understand that is your opinion. I simply disagree, and have articulated why. Also, when you give back the keys, you ARE honoring the agreement. At least you are honoring the agreements I saw as a commercial and residential real estate agent. That’s why contracts are in writing.
Meanwhile, I bought my farm in Kentucky on a handshake. We both looked each other in the eye, made a verbal contract, and shook hands on it. We closed last August.
Based on your previous statement, I wouldn't trust your handshake any more than I trust Obama.........
