Pushing repairs to after closing?

[Jeremiah Russell]

My wife and I are planning on closing on our first property Thursday. The buyer has asked if it is ok for us to close on our target date even though the repairs to the house that the seller is contracted to fix are not all done? He claims COVID is making it hard to get all the contractors out quickly. They promise they are all scheduled to be fixed. Thoughts? I don’t have a problem with this as long as they get fixed.

Thanks for the help

Well after closing the seller is a LOT less motivated.  How about getting a credit instead?
