It's a house purchase...there will inevitably be something else wrong that wasn't found during inspection. I wouldn't give in if I was you. But if you want to do the repairs yourself, reduce the estimates costs from the selling price. All this is typical house buying stuff.

Repairs should be in the contract. If not done to your satisfaction, cost -- D-Day 09/14/2018 1:11PM

Pay for another home inspection. -- TomTurkey 09/14/2018 1:09PM

Tell 'em if they aren't fixed you're not closing. -- vthokieq 09/14/2018 1:04PM

This shouldn't even be your problem -- JoesterVT 09/14/2018 12:45PM

True. you really shouldn't have to deal with the sellers until the final -- HokieSignGuy 09/14/2018 1:08PM

Not the agent's fault -- HokieMacDaddy 09/14/2018 12:51PM

IMO, the fact that you're even aware something wasn't done... -- JoesterVT 09/14/2018 1:15PM

Agreed. My buyer's had some outrageous demands and my RE agent chose what -- Thankful Hokie 09/14/2018 3:01PM

Agry to disagry ** -- HokieMacDaddy 09/14/2018 1:20PM

So agent doesn't fulfill their duties yet makes full commission? -- 48zip 09/14/2018 12:55PM

Well, if that's all you want. Sure. But "worst real estate transaction" -- 48zip 09/14/2018 1:12PM

I do want it fixed but not enough to pull out of the deal -- HokieMacDaddy 09/14/2018 1:19PM

Well we have a home warranty for any undiscovered things -- HokieMacDaddy 09/14/2018 1:24PM

She only gets paid if you close. So she has a vested interest in you giving -- Hokie360 09/14/2018 1:12PM

Not true out here -- HokieMacDaddy 09/14/2018 1:17PM

But it would be another month or two before that buyer could close. -- Hokie360 09/14/2018 1:28PM

They're just playing chicken to see if you'll cave and accept things. -- Hokie360 09/14/2018 12:34PM

I would guess if they are that mouthy, the neighbors are glad they are gone ** -- HokieSignGuy 09/14/2018 12:31PM

Seriously, they'll all coming running over afterwards... -- `lag 09/14/2018 12:56PM
