I'd like to get some expert opinions on something my wife and I are currently experiencing during our home search. We put an offer on a house this past weekend and the seller has come back to us asking us to enter into a backup agreement, whereby we would be guaranteed the house a specified price in the event the person they signed a contract with today did not get their financing worked out. Supposedly, it's a family friend or family member that they don't have the most confidence in. Does anyone have an opinion on this or has gone through a similar situation? For context, this is a competitive neighbor for houses in houston right now.
