Agent has the responsibility of pushing the sale through by calling the bank frequently.

Then you have to have the plumber come back and the backsplash go in *after* the granite is installed, which generally pushes to at least the following Tuesday/Wednesday (I don't like asking contractors to work weekends).

But I have this stubborn streak, that if someone is trying to intimidate me, I will push back.

It is your right to push back but it will come out of your agent's pocket.

They know how to organize and push around blocks of data but don't know how to interpret or use the data.  

We're all rooting for you and your continued success!

Ah, then go for it, I'd begin at building regs as to the permits, if the town is looking for tax revenue they might push back changing it to residential, who knows, but it should be a very simple process.

If they push back, explain to them you have to do a detailed move-out inspection after move-out, even if you want to do a walkthrough with them just prior to move-out and need to cut a check and mail it after completed, taking a couple of days.
