Would you be mad at us? Please let me know... Long!!!

Okay, so friends of ours put their home on the market with an RE agent. They are moving to NH. They let us know.... One weeks goes by. On Saturday, DH and I were talking and were like 'maybe we should look at the house'. As we talked about it, the idea got better. We thought the asking was very fair, the house had nice land and was in good condition. Have always though this.

DH was like 'we have only looked at the house as friends of theirs'... We should go with a broker and see how we feel about it being ours... Well, I was uncomfortable walking around our friends house without their permission, even though the home was on the market. Instead of going through them and making them uncomfortable (and we knew time was of the essence as it was a good deal), we called their broker and asked her to show us the house. We let the realtor know we were friends of theirs and who we were. We liked it and made an appointment for tomorrow to see it again. We got back to the house and called them. Still weren't home. I left a message saying... I just wanted to let you know we looked at your house today.... and then, blah blah, blah... The realtor calls this morning and is like, 'I spoke with the Steve and they accepted an offer slightly overasking this morning. They are no longer showing the house (they knew we were coming). And they were uncomfortable selling to you...' The RE continues to say 'I tried to persuade them that bids fall through but they are insistant.' I totally understand that they made a business decision and respect it- they had to get their highest bid, but do you think they are mad at us or we did anything wrong? Maybe they feel like we should have told them BEFORE going into their house... I am too chicken to call... BUt can you see ANY wrongdoing on our part from their point of view? Would you be mad friends of yours walked around your home without your permission?


Thanks so much for reading this and polling!!!
