Meridian Trust LLC Buy your house Atlanta GA

They send you a letter. We'll buy your house, sight unseen. You can live in your house up to 90 days after closing to get everything together at no cost to you. Sounds too good, it is. They actually offered a good price. We signed. They were holding back $20k until we moved out. The day after we signed, we get a call. No you can't stay 90 days. We change to 30 days. They agree to only hold back $10k. Can our inspector come out?

This is in the contract within 15 days. Yes. There is nothing foundationally wrong with the house. It has been maintained. Can our general contractor come look? I specifically asked if it was for cosmetic purposes. Yes, I am told. I explain it is a chemo day and one of us will not be well. Thinking it will be only one person and being assured it will take 5 to 10 minutes only, I allow this. When we return from chemo, we are greeted by 3 strangers who are roofers. They are here to inspect the roof. The roof is not cosmetic.

The contractor shows up with 2 additional people. This is another inspection. After they leave, we receive another call wanting to lower the agreed upon cost of the house. We say no. There is nothing wrong with this house. This is not how you do business. I suddenly get a call from the gentleman who had come to the house begging us not to stop the sale. We think about it and decide to continue with the sale. Two days later. Out of the blue, we get a sale cancellation notice. They have backed out of the sale. They are keeping the Ernest money. Why? Because we wanted to stay in the house 30 days post closing. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. IT IS NOT WORTH THE HASSLE.
