Potential buyer of flip house wants granite

[Jennifer Petrillo]

Deep into Flip #4, potential buyer walked by this weekend and came inside, loves the house, called us today to say she wants it but...she wants granite countertops. Currently the countertops are off because we had to move out the cabinets to repair a very water-damaged kitchen floor. I was going to replace them with laminate because it is not a high end house--small 3/1.5 Colonial built in 1830, limited closet space, nonworking fireplace, etc. Just not the kind of house that calls for high end finishes. In fact, I thought stone countertops would look out of place because the rest of the house is very modest (simple but charming in an 1830 kind of way!). What have other rehabbers done in this situation? She is ready to make an offer but we don't want to be on the hook for granite countertops that we were not planning on buying in the first place in case she backs out. Do we have her buy them? Reimburse us at closing? Any thoughts? Thanks BP!
