I have sold three houses (btw,the first one was in Maplewood NJ) and my number one rule (I read this in a book) in every transaction has been Don't Get Greedy. Sounds like you made a Very Wise Decision ... and isn't it nice that by being straightforward with Buyer Number One you did get a little more money out of it?
Oh yeah I miss Maplewood lots but headhunters call and I'm a Cali girl at heart.

It's interesting to hear about this from the other side. We didn't get the first house we offered for, partly because, we were told, they didn't like our 80-10-10 financing. That seemed so bizarre to us... they'd get their money, why on earth did they care how we financed it?
