Selling home, buyer claims new issue at pre possession walk through, need opinions.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Clear conditions. LoL!
In Edmonton, the way I had the listing written, it indicated all appliances and window coverings were included.
Well, a realtor named Darrell Cook had his clients make an offer and the way they wrote it, it emphasized "EXCLUDING: washer/dryer, fridge, etc etc"

So, a week or two later they want to revise the offer saying "Yo, I totes meant INcluding, you need to fix and initial". So I did, but added $1,000 to the price. I hope they made the realtor pay that.

I can see fucking up inflammable and flammable, but including & excluding is a little much, particularly for a native English speaker.

We had a similar issue. Not a whole lot you can do as the buyer they hold all the cards (assuming you want to sell). We got extorted for $1000 for literally no reason the day before close, and our options were to give them $1000 or not sell the place. Super shitty thing to do but I think it's fairly common.

Same thing happened to my brother recently. Buyer agreed to everything then claimed the home needed a new roof at the last minute. Inspectors sided with my brother but it was obvious what the buyer was trying to do. My brother was moving provinces so he had to sell the house, and lost $5000 just like that (the discount the buyer demanded).

If all you have to do is replace a tap or two, just do those little things, you're getting off easy.

ive said this many times in your posts but you, your family, your friends, your friends friends, your friends friends cousins all have the shittiest luck lol For that to happen once to yourself is already wild enough but to have it happen to your brother too is bullshit as in false or theres stuff youre leaving out from your story. As mentioned before thats the reason you have conditions and wave them once its good, you dont go and make demands the day before possession. If your story is as straight forward as you say and you both paid the demands the day before possession then i really dont know what to say lol

It is not fairly common which is why you don't listen to anecdotal bullshit from Mr. Wall-of-Text.

"Fairly common"

Do you even know what a contract is?

I'd watch out for Nigerian princes if I were you.

I’m pretty sure the garage is like 18x20 or 20x20 at best too which has a huge bummer for me. I requested 24x24 or larger...

Stick to your guns then.

20x20 only works if it’s 12’ ceilings. Otherwise 22x22 minimum.

put your realtor in their place. You have a budget, tell him to stick to it. They are a dime a dozen at any time. Find one that is going to listen to you if this one won't.

I vetoed the garage size already, I’m somewhat ok with the budget increase as long as we do find something we both love.

How much of this money is the girlfriends? That's how much input she gets. If it's all hers, does she need another boyfriend?

[adam c]

Buying with a gf, better have a prenup for that

[TomcoPDR]

No need to worry. Beyond is well known to be home of the prenup specialists.

50/50, but I’m putting 50% down and she’s paying the mortgage for the rest.

And so what? Your gf's boyfriend can make up the difference. You just make sure the toilets are cleaned and bed is made.
