This is just really bizarre to me, because in theory, he could just whip up an invoice for anyone and take action,

It is a joke from like 10 years ago on the huddle when Delhomme got Tommy John surgery. Someone misspelled it as "Tommy Jone". There is also the infamous "for peak's sake" mistype that caught fire.

The bill he sent me has options to pay online with credit cards, etc I have called off the sale of the house, and considered asking the realty company to pay for this “work”. Also, does he have any legal basis at all to do anything to me? I never signed ANYthing, at all.

No, But there is a ton of 3 way matches and storylines they discuss but somehow cut Benoit out of it as if he never existed.

Maybe Panthers can contact the WWE and find out how to “Benoit” Rhule.

Ok, so here's the deal. My wife was trying super hard to sell our house, and the buyer had some hard-on for getting the house "mold tested". This was in Illinois, and after a long series of painful calls and emails, it became apparent to me that actual "mold testing" is reserved for EPA type stuff and is only conducted at large businesses. The realtor was NO help finding anyone to make this happen and my wife took the initiative to find someone. The big names in the area were totally swamped with frozen pipes and flooding already, but eventually got back to us to inform us they did not provide mold testing. Anyways, my wife eventually found a company through Angieslist (which was a MAJOR red flag to me) and a guy came out to do an estimate. He said it would be "about $5,000 or so" which sounded nuts but we were desperately trying to sell this house. There was no paperwork exchanged, and nothing was signed. He sent a crew to the house, and once again, no paperwork was presented or signed before or after the (poor excuse for) work was performed. The worker asked me to pay with Venmo, which I then told him to send me an invoice. He looked really disappointed as if he knew he was not going to get paid. The invoice is extremely vague, and I have attached it to this thread. There is no way in hell this "work" was worth nearly $3,500. So what would you do? Just pay it? Haggle with him? Tell him to get real? The "invoice" doesn't even have my legal first name on it, and I never signed anything AT ALL. Yes, some people came out and did some "work" so totally stiffing him does not seem right. Paying this obnoxious amount for him to send a crew of scummy guys (one of them left my house and knocked on the neighbors door three doors down for no believable reason. He claimed his saw burned up but did not ask us if we had one). What is some advice for this, and what would you do? Invoice.pdf

I thought the Carolina Panthers only had legendarily BAD quarterbacks

This is a great question and I was about to make a post pertaining to situation I am in. Basically hired this total scumbag to come and do "work" at my house. He charged and obnoxious amount and sent a very undetailed bill. At one point, his employee asked me to pay 3K-5K with effing Venmo. He is asking for about $3.5K but it just does not feel right. I DID NOT sign ONE single document before or after this all started.

That’s pretty much what was about to happen here. I swear this dude did NOTHING. He would call my wife and say something needed to be done and she would start working on it. I had to explain to her multiples times that HE works for US.

Yea, maybe so. I have also wondered if the realtor would back out before I did. I was a complete asshole to him over the phone. I didn’t mean to flip out on him but MAN did he push my buttons. I asked him if the buyer or his company was pitching in with the $3k mold guy he did not help us find, and insisted that we get. (I was already pissed with him expressing concern for my family after the scumbags that came to my house and ALL he could ask was if I got a mold test, or not). When I asked him that, he said “mold guy?” As if I was talking about an effing rocket ship on the roof. I then asked him why he was suggesting to my wife to get car titles loans in order to contribute to the $15k closing costs and he says “I am trying to help her get the money”. I lost it on him. I had already ran out of patience with him long ago. Point is, I partly thought he might back out himself citing me as a raging physco.

Another update: I left him a voicemail saying I was backing out of the sale, and I emailed his realty company directly. This was so weird to me.....they did not put up ANY resistance and all but immediately send me documents to sign to back out of the house. They had me on the hook for a large payout, and was representing the buyer. What am I missing here? They didn't even try to salvage it, one bit.

As long as we can have General Booty at quarterback too

Matt Rhule era? Yea

Funny how Cmac is Mr Healthy all of a sudden

UPDATE: I have called this effing idiot and absolutely laid into him. The final straw is when he asked my wife if she could get car title loans to pay off the 15k in closing. I told him that if the closing cost was not 0 and the mold remediation was not paid in full by his realty company then he can forget I exist. He kept saying “I am trying to help her get the money” and I have never laid into anyone so hostilely over the phone. When I told him the deal was off unless he met my stipulations he says “I would hate to see the deal not go through” which I screamed at him “YEA! I BET YOU WOULD. YOU ARE BUYING AND SELLING THIS HOUSE. YOU HAVE A LOT TO LOSE”. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if HE backs out of the dealing citing that I am a psychopath My wife has now agreed that I can fire him and just pay on the house while we are overseas. Enough is enough.

Thank you so much, everyone who has replied and offered me assistance. I am about fed up with this realtor. He is representing me, the seller, as well as the buyer. I also just got stuck with a nearly 3.5K bill from a very suspicious mold removal company due to this realtor basically bugging the living hell out of my wife to have it looked at. I have sent him an aggressive text about the situation. I live and work overseas so the time zones are almost 15 hours apart, but I can text him over Imessages. I think my next step is to tell him the closing costs need to be 0 AND the mold crap is now his problem or he can forget selling the house. Is that a foolish threat?

This is Illinois. My wife has basically had to do this all alone and is really easily duped.

Nope. Putting any QB ever in their prime on this team would be horrible. This is exactly like what we talked about with Deshaun Watson. Selling the farm and not being able to build around him would only lead to poor performance, injury, Derek Carr syndrome, etc. Meanwhile, your future is mortgaged for years and you cannot afford anything.

To make a long story short, my family and I are a little desperate to get out of the house we are in now. I also work overseas and haven't been able to be involved in the business dealings of it that much, leading me to believe my wife is being taken advantage of. Anyways, the closing costs may be between 10-20K. This realtor has already come off as a dunce to me multiple times, and seems to think people have that much laying around or can just instantly get approved for it. I asked for a personal loan and my bank denied my when I mentioned it was for closing costs. Is this a normal thing? Will the bank I have the mortgage with not just be more than happy to have more of my money? I really REALLY didn't want to go to my bank today, and I got the answer I was sure I would get in being denied. With this, what are some options I have? I am basically screwed on the amount and all, but how does this normally work?

I love how way in depth Olsen is able to go on so many aspects of the game. Hearing him announce is like having a real time analyst that is able to offer insight and basically secrets that many people don’t know. I have watched the NFL for 25 years but I always learn something new just about any time he speaks.

Can we get Kafka AND Camus??

I think he represented me first? I reached out to him to sell the house and this lady was interested, made an offer, etc.

Yea, I am really not sure what the problem is. There was a ton of bad floods and freezing pipes in this area. Its been an act of God to get anyone out here too look in the first place.

These are really good questions! I will have to ask. My wife did most of this and there is a lot of things I am unsure of.

Thanks for the advice. I am afraid its too late for some things. Like getting him to contribute in the mold inspection or anything. My wife has been here alone having to do this all herself, and I am trying to help her this two weeks I am here. Its been a super hassle wanting to leave on a time schedule and finding someone who wants the house. We are "first time homeowners" and the experience has been nightmarish.
