Buyer decided to fuck around and find out

Gather round children because do I have a story for you!

We are relocating 600 miles because I started a new job. Our financing is contingent on sale, so we priced our house to move (about $30k under comps). We had mild interest and finally had a buyer who really liked the house. His offer was $5k under the list price and he asked for $11k in seller concessions. In the interest of time, we agreed. We asked for a 5 day rent back period to allow time to get a moving truck and finalize everything, but he wouldn't agree. We made arrangements to load the moving truck, pre-sign our settlement documents, and then be out the day before closing so they could do a walkthrough, sign, and take possession.

A week before closing, he doesn't have his CTC. My agent was talking to his agent and lender to figure out a timeline, and the bank keeps saying "probably tomorrow, probably tomorrow." We push back our movers and sign an addendum to push back closing. Monday comes and the bank is still saying "maybe tomorrow." Tuesday comes and the bank says they have received all of the gift letters they were waiting on and can put it back through underwriting.

No one told us they were waiting for additional documents! That would have changed things.

Wednesday comes, and so does our moving truck. We also get a message that the seller had an "unexpected tax bill" and they asked that we pay an additional $2800 towards closing to hasten things along. We refuse because WTF? Still no CTC.

Thursday comes and the lender says things look good, they should be CTC tomorrow. We've heard this story before. But it's too late to schedule closing on our new house for Friday, so we have to start making alternate arrangements.

We plan to leave Saturday morning. We reserve an Airbnb in our new town. We have to make new arrangements with the moving company because they're not going to be able to deliver when we thought they would be. (That cost an extra $3500.)

About 11am on Friday (the closing date in the contract) he gets the CTC. We're excited to wrap this up. We schedule with the title company to sign at 3pm. We told our agent we'll be out first thing Saturday morning, so make sure the buyer knows we need to stay overnight. He refuses. He wants us to vacate by 3pm so he can do a final walkthrough and sign closing paperwork at 5pm. Our agent tries to explain to his agent that we have no where to go, we've been more than accommodating, and we're asking for less than 24 hours. Still won't budge. His agent reminds us that the contract has closing today, so if we don't close we'll be in breach of contract and the buyer will walk. The buyer threatened to force us out of "his" house. We have no options and no patience left, so we say fine, send the release documents.

Bro then shows up at our house. We have a locked gate and a fence, so we wasn't able to come to the door, and we immediately called the cops. Our agent shows up to try to talk to him. His adament he has rights because it's "almost" his house. The cops arrive and also explain to him that the contract hasn't been signed and he has no legal right to this property. He eventually leaves, but WTF?

Now we're completely on edge. We have our car packed and are leaving in the morning. At about 6pm our agent said his agent was going to submit an addendum to close on Monday. We don't even know if we want to sell to him anymore. This is a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood, and he's already causing drama and throwing a temper tantrum. We're not *that* desperate. I know the market sucks, but we can wait it out. I just can't believe he tried to kick us out of our own house. Yes I know the closing date in the contract said today, but 4 hours to vacate is an unreasonable expectation. We also signed an addendum to move closing without them disclosing that they were still waiting for documents and had a large tax bill to handle.

This was a new one for our agent. She's also in shock that they've been so unaccommodating, uncooperative, aggressive, and hostile. So now dude gets to learn that actions have consequences.

End rant.

TL;DR Buyer wanted us to vacate property and hand over possession with four hours notice. We had to call the cops after he showed up and threatened to force us out of "his" house. Now we're considering cancelling the deal.
