Condo contact with no inspection contingency
We signed a condo contract with no inspection contingency. We deposited 4k on earnest money deposit. Seller allowed us to perform inspection(for information purpose only) and we discovered few issues(window not shutting down, paint peeled off in bathrooms, exhaust fans in both bathrooms not functioning). There issues were not disclosed in the property disclosure when we signed the contract. We are requesting our realtor to have the seller fix these issues, but our realtor don't want to communicate these issues because seller realtor already said that inspection is for information only and not for negotiation. We are planning to close by June 30th. Who should be responsible to fix these issues ? We want to move in to this condo but we wanted seller to fix these issues. I am thinking about sending the inspection report to the seller in a certified mail so that he can take care of the issues. If they don't fix these issues, can we back out of the offer and get our earnest deposit $4k back ? Please advise on how to proceed.
