My realtor called a roofing company and got an estimate on the cost of repairing the trouble with the roof. The seller's agent agreed to place that amount +15% in an escrow account at the title company, to pay the roofers. It came out of his commission. Apparently, he couldn't reach the sellers to yell at them, and I stated categorically "If this isn't resolved today I am not buying this house ever."

Rather than lose the sale, he ate the cost.

So, I bought it.

Those of you who are happy about this may feel free to congratulate me now. Those of you who think I have made a huge mistake may feel free to keep those thoughts to themselves. >:) It's over now.

May I be the first .....

Congratulations, Ms. HouseHolder. I can't wait to get a chance to see it. Must be time to start planning my next road trip!

Best wishes for heat in the winter, shade in the summer, and love all year 'round.

Be good (and no fair swearing under your breath). The Lady, Anne

Thank you, both of you. As someone once told me "I and a bank now own a house". :)

I think I like the seller's realtor better than the sellers. ;-)

You have house! Congrats!

Yes, the moral of the story appears to be "Agents are more desperate to make sales than either the seller or the buyer."

I will admit that I really did not want to back out freakin' today. Yi.

No "second thoughts" now; it's time to move forward with
your life as a homeowner!

Congrats again!!!!!

Congratulations! You are now a homeowner, and all that that entails.

You'll enjoy it, I'm sure :)

Wow. Honestly, this is all like listening to you burble about discovering a new subatomic particle, for all that I understand about real estate, but if you're happy, I'm happy. :)

Yay!!!

Woohoo! Eye of the tiger! A prize well fought for and worth having, I think. :)

I love the smell of floor wax in the morning...

Smells like... victory.

Hurrah! I should have kept reading, before whimpering at your last post. =) (I had a few to catch up on, once getting back from New York.) I really hope this house works out for you - and hurrah for a desperate realtor soaking the expense! ;)

Congratulations Again
