Not really. It works in a buyer's market, or when the seller has little

bargaining power or wants to move quickly and the buyer needs a little help. It's part of negotiations

Same question.

Moving too quickly, didn’t read closely enough

Kevin Arnold

Sure on your sellers disclosures list everything that is wrong with the house and tell them you won't

It’s foolproof!

this is probably the best idea

Unless the next seller sees the disclosures and decides “nevermind”

Mike Honcho

The disclosure would be the same. You can change your mind on fixing repairs based on each deal. Nothing wrong about

Right. But you don’t know if one of the disclosures would be a deal breaker for buyer 2

Mike Honcho

If the issues are major, they would need to be on the disclosures regardless

Thank the buyer for being willing to buy the house even after the

Or in light of the double homicide that WILL take place in the master bedroom

Does this help?

Yes this is helpful

Don’t act on this “advice”. Don’t take legal advice from a message board.

Just say no to all their repair requests. If they still go through with it, you might actually come out ahead after all.

This is so strange. I always say no to all these requests anyway. Why should I

You will pay to fix stuff in buyers market and urgent move

1/14/20 6:54am

If that’s the case, the stuff would have been fixed before listing the house.

Your agent didn't explain the offers to you?

1/14/20 4:02am

How hard is it to pick the highest number? What am I missing here?

Hambone

I assume he picked the highest dollar figure, but didn't realize how much their demands would cost.

Conan

Maybe one gave him highest number but wanted him to do closing costs.

That's such a weird thing that realtors try to bake into most contracts.

1/14/20 7:36am

Not really. It works in a buyer's market, or when the seller has little

1/14/20 7:43am

Much better to give the buyer the flexibility to do a no cost.

1/14/20 11:13am

There’s not a high hurdle to become a realtor. The profession doesn’t attract

DirtyWater

1/14/20 7:43am

Kevin Arnold definitely had a crap agent.

1/14/20 8:36am

In addition to closing costs, one possibility (I'm guessing this is FSBO) is

"Significant amount" is pretty subjective.

1/14/20 7:56am

It’s not a lot in terms of the deal

Kevin Arnold

Glad to hear!
