@James Mc Ree thanks I have decided to go with that I agreed to half the roof but that’s it not a thing more.

@Mitch Messer oh and great read too thanks

@Mitch Messer thank you for validating that for me. Learn some new terminology for it. Lol. Thanks again

Thank you @Russell Brazil for your feedback very much appreciated. I was thinking the same thing but as I stated this my first so I just wanted to reach out and get some professional/experienced opinions. Thanks again

Hey @Corey Hawkinson thank you for your quick response much appreciated. To answer your question unfortunately the house has been listed for roughly 40 days now and this is the only offer thus far.

This will be my first home sale. I listed this beach home 2 bed 2 bath with a loft one block from main entertainment strip in Long Beach Washington for 225k buyer offers 205k I came back at 215k in hopes of a 210k counter but they took it at 215k. Even better with earnest at around 2k. Now they are asking I replace the roof some wiring in the attic they want me to replace the entire door frame and door on the front door mind you the one now is not in bad shape at all. And the other thing is the want me to purchase a warranty on the appliances that are very old as it is I feel like this has gotten a little ridiculous with the requests. Am I right in thinking so and if so how should I address the situation or any strategies I can implement such terms or price or whatever. Thank you very much for your time.

@Wayne Brooks yes they absolutely  inherit something. How much will be dependent on what they are willing to except. Technically they are entitled to half of everything, as they should be, because that’s what would have been their fathers share. My mother doesn’t want to take that from them. She just wants to save the house. @Robert Freeborn I didn’t mention this before, and I should have because it’s a significant factor I believe but only one of the children even lives remotely close to the beach house. The other two are out of state and I don’t believe neither of the 3 really have any interest in the actual house itself unless of course it’s sold and then obviously their share. So my uncle their father never liked the beach and the house he always wanted those mineral rights so my mother felt it only right they get passed on to his children. The house now is right off of the main tourist strip exactly a block away and The reasonable market value on it is $147k. My grandparents built it in early 80s Andy everything in it is all original still. It’s older but it’s beautiful. It’s a two story 3bed 2 full baths completely fenced in with a big wrap around deck. It needs a new roof it’s shingles’s right now and when my grandma Got sick it just became super overgrown but I been going up there working on that lately. The cedar fence needs replaced and the deck needs resealed and stained. Me personally I would completely remodel and update the whole thing and hopefully get 300k out of it. But that’s me. As it sits though, aside from what I mentioned, it’s really nice and neat no major issues it’s not run down or anything in a nice neighborhood on Oregon ave. It’s just 80s inside, lol. Thank you for tour feed back I very much appreciate it. If anyone else has ideas for me or an opinion on it please feel free to let me know. Thank you again. 

I’m really in need of some advice here if anyone is familiar or knows what the best approach would be to this situation. A little background: IN WASHINGTON my grandmother recently passed away obviously leaving her estate behind but there is no will. Her only surviving heirs is her daughter (my mother). She also had a son but he passed a few years back from cancer. The estate consisted of 2 houses her live in house and a beach house. There is a piece of land in port ludlow, wa that’s valued at $12,000 as stated on the parcel search and then mineral rights in Wyoming that she was 1/4 owner in with 3 of her deceased husbands family members and then her accounts and investments. Investments were liquified though when she got sick and live in house sold which took care of all her medical bills and assisted living costs. What’s left is 30,000 cash the beach house, the mineral rights and property. her daughter would inherit everything but she had a brother that died like I said before and he had 3 children that would get his share as if he were alive I would assume and from what the probate attorney stated. My mother doesn’t care about anything else she just wants the beach house and that’s it. Mind you they don’t get along at all and I’m sure they are just after money. My mother doesn’t want to sell the beach house that’s all she has left of her parents. She doesn’t want to continue with probate attorney anymore now that all court stuff is done it’s a matter of reaching a deal with the kids now. How could this be structured ultimately leaving my mother with the house? By the way the house is free and clear everything they owned was free and clear. How could I structure a deal between them I’m the go between pretty much because I still get along with my cousins and it’s my mother obviously. Help please!!?? She also doesn’t care if she has to buy them out but she don’t have money so would have to do a heloc or something????
