HELP! What to do when realtor/seller skipped repair negotiations!
Hi BP,
I need your help. After all inspections were complete, our realtor asked us to send a list of items we want the seller to fix and to expect a list of all the things the seller agrees to repair. We were told that this is where we could negotiate for repairs if we were unhappy with their list. Well, that never happened.
Our realtor sent us a list of items the seller did NOT fix, meaning, they have already selected and completed items from the list without notifying us. We are extremely unhappy with this as our main concerns were issues with structural, plumbing, and termites on the property which, you guessed it, were NOT fixed.
Our realtor sent us a text (7pm) to suggest we get a contractor for our Saturday appointment tomorrow to review the repairs (and for a second opinion). WTH?! What can I do now? I am fuming.
Can I still negotiate for the repairs (or credit)? Any suggestions would help. Thank you!!!
