Potential Buyer wants to change layout

I listed my flip before it was sheetrocked and luckily have had quite a bit of response. I'm the agent as well and have an agent that wants me to meet with a potential buyer about the finishes to the home and possibly changing windows and adding a garage.

What are you thoughts on doing so. I believe we have priced this home accurately based on the amount of response so far. Plus I have ordered most of the items and the things the agent says the buyer wants I'd have to basically stop in mid stream.

This area has been hot the last 6 months so with the interest I've had in the brief time it's been listed I'm fairly certain I'll get my price.

I'm meeting with them Thursday to discuss.

1. No contract in hand.

2. If it's possible to do what they ask should I quote them my contractor price plus 30%

3. Ask for a non refundable down payment on the "upgrades"

    I've got two words for you: in-sane. If you start down this road, where do you stop? What if they want one bedroom orange, one purple and one black? Avocado green countertops and harvest gold appliances? What if they lose their job the day before closing? There's a million ways for this to go wrong and only one way for it to go right, i.e. it closes on time with no surprises. Unless the non-refundable deposit amount equals the purchase price I would politely decline.
