I haven't. I lit a fire under her ass yesterday by telling her that I do have one more option to not loose the land. I can use my down payment to pay cash for the land and own it outright. I can then put the land up as collateral for my down payment on a home. It will cost me a few thousand more and I don't want to do that, but I can. She agreed and sounded like she relaxed, but then I followed up with, "I am sure your competitor will really appreciate the sale though. I have a meeting with him on Saturday. By the way, can you tell me how long it will take to get my earnest money back from you?"

She let me know that it was her goal to be closed by Saturday. She does not want to push it to Monday. I think she now wants to close before I talk to the competitor. She knows I can walk on this deal at any time I want. She has heard me talk about it for 3 days and now I let her know that I am planning on doing it. Suddenly she sees it as urgent.
