A few years back I was representing a client who wished to purchase a waterfront property.
I found an elderly lady (85) who said she was interested in selling her cottage. We
Settled on a price and within days I had my client and the seller meet. The seller reneged …
She was not prepared for a buyer to appear so soon. Ahead two years…
I brought the same seller and buyer together and a closing day was set. I arrived at
The attorneys office with buyer in tow at the appointed time. The seller had already
Arrived. We sat opposite the seller and exchanged amenities and buyer stated how
Excited he was about the cottage. The sellers attorney approached and said we
Would now move to the conference room and take care of the paperwork and exchange of funds.
The seller began to cry and stated she didn’t beiieve she could go thru with the sale!
She was now 87 years old. The buyer nearly fainted! Her attorney 20 years her junior sat down beside her and took her hand in his. He very gently told her now was the time to
“Let It” go. Twenty minutes later the buyer left owning his dream property.
